Instructions
1. Preheat the Oven: Set your oven to 400°F (200°C) to ensure the potatoes achieve a crisp exterior and fluffy interior.
2. Prepare the Potatoes: Wash the potatoes and dice them into bite-sized pieces, ensuring even cooking throughout.
3. Season the Potatoes: In a large bowl, toss the diced potatoes with olive oil, salt, pepper, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, chili powder, cumin, oregano, and parsley. Mix everything together until the potatoes are evenly coated.
4. Bake the Potatoes: Spread the seasoned potatoes in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake for 35-40 minutes, flipping the potatoes halfway through, until they are golden brown and crispy.

Notes
Roasting vs. Baking: While both methods can produce delicious results, roasting the potatoes at a higher temperature helps achieve a crispier exterior, which is a hallmark of authentic Mexican Potatoes.
Flipping the Potatoes: Midway through the baking process, give the potatoes a gentle flip to ensure even browning and crisping on all sides.
Oven Variations: Cooking times may vary depending on your oven, so keep an eye on the potatoes and adjust the temperature or baking time as needed to achieve your desired texture.
