INSTRUCT

Preheat oven to 425 degrees F with the rack in the center of the oven. Line a large, lined baking sheet with parchment paper so the potatoes don’t stick.
Cut potatoes into 2-inch-long pieces (cut small potatoes in half, large potatoes in quarters, etc.). Place them on the prepared baking sheet.
Drizzle olive oil over the potatoes, then sprinkle with garlic powder, salt, and rosemary if using. Stir with your hands until the potatoes are evenly coated in the mixture (you may not have enough oil, but you do—go on!). Arrange the potatoes in an even layer on the pan with their flat edges pressed against the pan.
Bake the potatoes for 40 to 45 minutes, turning halfway, until the potatoes are deep golden (check the underside) and pierce easily with a fork. Add the parsley and, if using, season with salt and a little black pepper (be careful, the potatoes are very hot). Timely service.
