Ingredients

2 (8 ounce) russet potatoes, peeled and halved lengthwise
1 tablespoon olive oil, or as needed
0.25 teaspoon ground paprika
salt to taste

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
To create the diamond cut, slice a small piece off the rounded side of each potato half so they sit flat. Score the flat sides in a diamond pattern, about 1/2 inch deep, being careful not to cut all the way through the potato.
Drizzle half of the oil over the diamond cuts, sprinkle with half of the paprika, and season with salt. Place potatoes seasoned-side down on the prepared baking sheet. Drizzle the remaining oil, paprika, and salt over the other side.
Roast in the preheated oven for 30 minutes. Flip the potatoes and continue to roast until they are cooked through and golden brown, approximately 30 more minutes.
