- Olive oil - Use your best extra virgin olive oil for the potatoes.
- Garlic - Fresh minced garlic cloves add so much flavor to these potatoes. But you can substitute garlic powder if you don't have fresh garlic.
- Seasonings - For the potato seasoning, you need a mix of ground paprika, chopped fresh rosemary, kosher salt and ground black pepper. You can also use a mix of your favorite herbs. Try fresh herbs like basil, oregano, and/or thyme for an Italian seasoning flavor. While fresh is best, you can substitute dried herbs if that's what you have on hand.
