Yield: 4 servings
Temp: 425°F (220°C)
Time: 35–45 minutes

Key Ingredients First:

  • Potatoes
  • White vinegar
  • Salt
  • Olive oil

Ingredients

  • 2 lbs potatoes, cut into chunks
  • 1 cup white vinegar
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 3 tbsp olive oil
  • ½ tsp garlic powder
  • ½ tsp black pepper
  • Extra sea salt for finishing

Instructions

  1. Boil in Vinegar
    Add potatoes to a pot and pour in the vinegar. Add salt and cover with water.
    Bring to a boil and cook 10–12 minutes until just tender. This vinegar-infused parboil gives the deep flavor people search for in crispy roasted potato recipes.
  2. Drain & Dry
    Drain well and let the potatoes steam-dry for a few minutes. Dry potatoes = crispier roasting.
  3. Season
    Toss potatoes with olive oil, garlic powder, pepper, and a pinch of salt. Coat well.
  4. Roast
    Spread on a baking sheet. Bake at 425°F (220°C) for 25–30 minutes, flipping once, until golden and crunchy.
  5. Finish
    Sprinkle with flaky sea salt and, if desired, a splash of extra vinegar for extra tang.

Serving Ideas

  • Serve alongside grilled chicken, steak bites, burgers, or seafood.
  • Pair with creamy dips like ranch, garlic yogurt dip, or spicy mayo.
  • Add fresh herbs like parsley or chives for a bright finish.

These potatoes fit perfectly into searches for oven-baked sides, simple dinner ideas, and crispy potato recipes, making them ideal for high-engagement food content.

Tips for Best Results

  • Boiling in vinegar before roasting enhances both flavor and crispiness.
  • Spread potatoes in a single layer so they roast, not steam.
  • Russet or baby potatoes give the best crunch.
  • Add chili flakes for a spicy twist.
