Prep the Potatoes: Wash and dry the potatoes thoroughly. Cut them in half or into 1-inch cubes, depending on your preference.
Season: In a mixing bowl, toss the potatoes with olive oil, garlic powder, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper until evenly coated.

Notes

Cut Size: Ensure that the potatoes are cut into similar sizes for even cooking.
Soaking Option: For extra crispiness, soak the cut potatoes in cold water for 30 minutes before cooking. This helps remove excess starch.
Batch Cooking: If making a larger quantity, cook in batches to avoid overcrowding the basket.
