- 2 lbs. potatoes, peeled and cut into 1-inch cubes
- 1/4 cup olive oil

- 1/2 tsp. cayenne pepper
- 1/2 tsp. garlic powder
- 1/2 tsp. salt

3. Add the potatoes to the bowl and toss until they are evenly coated with the spice mixture.
4. Spread the potatoes out in a single layer on a baking sheet.
5. Bake the potatoes for 25-30 minutes, or until they are golden brown and crispy.
