6cupsPotatoesYukon, Russet, or Red, quartered
3tbsp.Olive Oil

2tsp.Smoky Paprika
1tbsp.Dried Parsley
1tsp.Dried Rosemary

2tsp.Salt

Instructions
Preheat your oven to 425 F.
Start by prepping your potatoes. Choose to peel or leave the skin on your potatoes. Cut you potatoes into even, 1 inch size pieces.
Place your potatoes in a large pot and cover with water. Bring to a boil and boil about 8-10 minutes. They should be al dente (tender but not too soft).
Drain your potatoes into a strainer or colander and let them sit about 5 minutes.
After they sit briefly, shake your potatoes to allow the potatoes to roughen up around the edges. This breaks down the outside starches and is key to allowing the butter and oil to adhere and gives it a super crispy outside.
In your baking skillet over medium low heat, melt your butter. Then add your oil. Remove it from the heat and pour in your potatoes and toss them in the butter and oil mixture. (If you use a baking sheet to roast simply to this in a large bowl instead).
Next, pour in all your seasonings (garlic powder, smoky paprika, dried herbs, salt and pepper). Fold the seasonings in lightly to toss and evenly coat.
Make sure your potatoes are spread out across the surface area of the baking dish. Do not over crowd your potatoes! Crowding prevents browning.
Bake for 20 minutes and then flip the potatoes halfway and bake another 20-25 minutes until they are crispy and golden brown on all sides.
Remove from the oven and garnish with a little extra flaky sea salt and fresh parsley if desired.
