Ingredients
Scale
- 2 lbs red potatoes, quartered
- 4 tablespoons olive oil
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon dried rosemary
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 425 degrees Fahrenheit. This high heat is key for golden brown food aesthetic.
- Place the quartered red potatoes in a large bowl.
- In a small bowl, mix the olive oil, minced garlic, rosemary, thyme, salt, and pepper.
- Pour the oil mixture over the potatoes and toss well until every piece is coated.
- Spread the potatoes in a single layer on a large, rimmed baking sheet. Do not overcrowd the pan; use two sheets if necessary for crisp perfection.
- Roast for 35 to 45 minutes, flipping them halfway through, until they are deep golden brown and crispy on the outside.
- Serve immediately as an easy vegetable side dish.
Notes
- For extra crispiness, soak the cut potatoes in cold water for 30 minutes before drying them thoroughly. This removes surface starch.
- If you want a rustic potato styling, leave the skins on the red potatoes.
- Use fresh herbs if you have them; use 1 tablespoon of each chopped fresh herb instead of the dried amounts.
