2. Spread the seasoned potatoes evenly on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or a silicone mat. Ensure they are in a single layer to promote even browning.
   
3. Roast the potatoes in the preheated oven for 20–25 minutes, turning once halfway through. Look for golden-brown edges and crispy surfaces as indicators of doneness.
   
4. Meanwhile, heat a skillet over medium heat. Once heated, add 1 tablespoon of olive oil. When oil shimmers and just begins to smoke lightly, transfer roasted potatoes to the skillet.
