Preheat your oven to 450° F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Heat a large pot of water on the stove until boiling.
While the water heats, peel and chop potatoes into fourths or sixths depending on your potato size.
Add salt & baking powder and the prepped potatoes to the boiling water. Bring the water back to a boil and cook the potatoes uncovered until fork tender (10 minutes or so).
Drain the potatoes then return them to the empty pot. Mix them with a metal spoon to create some texture which will soon crisp in the oven.
Toss the potatoes with oil, garlic, salt and pepper.
Space out the potatoes on the parchment lined baking sheet and cook for 50 minutes, flipping twice troughout the bake time.
Serve warm and enjoy!
