Enjoy these crispy spiced potato bites, a flavorful twist on classic hash browns, perfect for any meal.
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Preheating ensures even cooking and helps achieve a crispy texture.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the olive oil, smoked paprika, chili powder, black pepper, and salt. Mix well to create a spice blend.
Mixing the spices with the oil helps evenly coat the potatoes.
Cut the baking potatoes into small, bite-sized cubes.
Try to cut the potatoes into uniform sizes for even cooking.
Add the potato cubes to the bowl with the spice blend. Toss until all pieces are well coated.
Use a spatula to ensure all sides of the potato cubes are coated.
Spread the coated potatoes in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Avoid overcrowding the baking sheet to allow the potatoes to crisp up.
Bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden and crispy.
Check the potatoes towards the end of baking to prevent overcooking.
Serve the crispy spiced potato bites warm, garnished with fresh herbs if desired.
Serving them immediately ensures the best texture and flavor.
