A classic side dish that goes well with steak. Garlic, onion, and paprika are added to these roasted potatoes to make them taste better and make them crispier.

Ingredients: 4 russet potatoes, scrubbed and dried. 2 tablespoons olive oil. 1 teaspoon garlic powder. 1 teaspoon onion powder. 1 teaspoon paprika. Salt and pepper to taste.

Instructions: Warm the oven up to 425F 220C. You can cut potatoes into wedges or cubes, whichever you like better. Add the potatoes to a large bowl and mix in the garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and pepper. Do this until the potatoes are well covered. Put the potatoes on a baking sheet that has been lined with aluminum foil or parchment paper. Spread them out in a single layer. Flip the potatoes over halfway through cooking and bake for another 25 to 30 minutes, or until the outside is golden brown and crispy and the inside is soft.
