Ingredients

    2 tbs olive oil
    1 tsp paprika
    3/4 tsp chili powder
    2 tsp salt
    1/4 tsp ground red pepper
    1/8 tsp garlic powder
    1/8 tsp onion powder
    6 1/2 c diced potatoes
    Cooking spray

Directions

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Peel the potatoes, if you prefer them with skin you can leave it on, and dice into 3/4" to 1" cubes. Place potatoes in a mixing bowl. In a small bowl, combine the olive oil with the spices. Pour the olive oil and spice mixture over the potatoes and toss to coat. Spray a 13x9x2 pan with cooking spray. Arrange the potatoes on the cookie sheet in a single layer and bake at 400 degrees for 30 minutes or until browned to your liking. Serve immediately. Makes about 8 1/2 c servings

For even more flavor I use smoked paprika and smoked sea salt in place of the regular version of these spices. I also substitute red potatoes if I have them on hand.

    These are remarkably good. I put them in the toaster oven and cooked them that way. Not only is it better for you but it didn't have a big clean up. After I fry home fries with oil it gets messy but not with olive oil in the oven. Yayyy!! and just tasty. to season I used a ziploc bag to coat them - 2/29/16

    Wonderful side dish, my husband is not crazy about potatoes, but I caught him sneaking some of the left overs! - 9/30/10

    I'm glad you guys like this recipe so much! I found it in a magazine when I was visiting the doctor as a kid and I copied it. My mom couldn't believe that they could be so good with so little oil, but it's been a family favorite ever since.

    Very Good
    I cut up four russet potatoes and followed the recipe. Two of us ate all of them along with a simple salad and our fill of smoked chicken. A delightful dinner! I, too, used a ziploc bag to season plus parchment in the pan to make cleanup a bit easier. - 5/13/21
