Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Diamond Cut Roasted Potatoes.
Step 1
Start by preheating your oven to a cozy 400°F (200°C) and get a baking sheet ready by lining it with parchment paper.
Step 2
Now, let’s prepare those potatoes! Take each potato and slice a small piece off the rounded side so they can sit flat, with the larger cut sides facing up.
Step 3
This little trick helps them roast evenly.
Step 4
Next, score the flat sides in a lovely diamond pattern, cutting about half an inch deep but being careful not to cut all the way through.
Step 5
This scoring will allow the flavors to seep in beautifully.
Step 6
Drizzle half of your olive oil over the scored sides, then sprinkle on half of the paprika and a pinch of salt for that extra flavor boost.
Step 7
Place the potatoes, seasoned side down, on your prepared baking sheet.
Step 8
Now, drizzle the remaining olive oil, paprika, and salt over the other side of the potatoes, ensuring they’re well-coated.
Step 9
Pop the baking sheet into your preheated oven and let those potatoes roast for about 30 minutes.
Step 10
After that, it’s time to flip them over and let them continue roasting until they’re perfectly cooked through and golden brown, which should take another 30 minutes.
Step 11
The aroma wafting through your kitchen will be irresistible, and soon you’ll have deliciously crispy, flavorful potatoes ready to enjoy!.
