These crispy mini potatoes are golden and crunchy on the outside, tender inside, and perfect for parties or casual snacking. Made with simple ingredients and a secret cornstarch coating, they deliver irresistible crunch and flavor.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1.5 pounds (700 grams) mini potatoes (baby Yukon Gold or red potatoes)
  • 3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • Salt to taste (sea salt or kosher salt recommended)
  • ½ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
  2. Wash and dry the mini potatoes thoroughly.
  3. If potatoes are larger than bite-sized, halve or quarter them to ensure even cooking.
  4. In a large bowl, toss the potatoes with olive oil until evenly coated.
  5. Sprinkle cornstarch evenly over the potatoes and toss again to coat.
  6. Add garlic powder, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper; toss to season evenly.
  7. Spread the potatoes in a single layer on a baking sheet, ensuring enough space between them.
  8. Roast in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, flipping halfway through for even browning.
  9. Look for a deep golden color with crackly skin and tender interior.
  10. Remove from oven and immediately sprinkle with fresh parsley if using. Serve hot.

Notes

For extra crispiness, toss potatoes with cornstarch before roasting and avoid overcrowding the baking sheet. If potatoes aren’t crisping well, leave the oven door slightly ajar for the last 5 minutes. Parboiling potatoes for 5 minutes before roasting can speed cooking but is optional. Variations include adding cayenne for heat, herbs like rosemary or thyme, or sprinkling Parmesan cheese in the last 5 minutes of roasting. Air fryer option: 400°F (200°C) for 15-20 minutes, shaking halfway through.
