  3. In a large mixing bowl, combine the diced potatoes with olive oil, salt, black pepper, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, chili powder, cumin, oregano, and parsley.
  4. Toss the potatoes gently in the bowl to ensure they are evenly covered in the spice blend.
  5. Spread the seasoned potatoes in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
  6. Bake for 30-35 minutes, tossing halfway through for even browning.
  7. Remove from the oven, let cool slightly, and serve immediately.
