1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). This high temperature will help achieve that golden, crispy exterior.
2. While the oven is heating, wash and peel the potatoes. Cut them into bite-sized cubes, about 1 inch each. The uniform size will ensure they cook evenly.
3. In a large mixing bowl, combine the olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and pepper. Mix well to create a flavorful coating for the potatoes.
4. Add the cubed potatoes to the bowl and toss them thoroughly in the oil and spice mixture. Make sure every piece is coated—this is where the magic happens!
5. Spread the potatoes in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Avoid overcrowding to allow for proper roasting.
6. Bake in the preheated oven for about 25-30 minutes, flipping the potatoes halfway through. Look for that lovely golden-brown color and a fork tender texture.
7. Once done, remove from the oven and garnish with fresh parsley, if desired. Serve hot and watch your family dig in!

Let me tell you, the smell of these potatoes roasting is enough to bring everyone to the kitchen. It’s a moment of pure joy, reminding me of the times I stood by my dad, mesmerized by the magic of cooking.
