Ingredients
Scale
- 2 lbs baby potatoes (Yukon Gold, red, or fingerling), halved or quartered
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon fresh rosemary, chopped (or 1 teaspoon dried rosemary)
- 1 tablespoon fresh thyme, chopped (or 1 teaspoon dried thyme)
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Optional: 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- Fresh parsley for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or foil for easy cleanup.
- Prepare the Potatoes: In a large bowl, toss the halved or quartered potatoes with olive oil, minced garlic, rosemary, thyme, salt, and pepper until well-coated.
- Roast the Potatoes: Spread the potatoes in an even layer on the prepared baking sheet, making sure they are not overcrowded. Roast in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, tossing halfway through, until the potatoes are golden brown and crispy on the outside and tender on the inside.
- Optional Parmesan: If using Parmesan, sprinkle it over the potatoes in the last 5 minutes of roasting for a cheesy, crispy finish.
- Garnish and Serve: Once roasted, remove the potatoes from the oven and garnish with fresh parsley if desired. Serve hot.
Notes
- For an extra crispy texture, avoid overcrowding the potatoes on the baking sheet.
- Adjust seasoning to taste, especially if using different types of potatoes.
