Ingredients
Scale
Potatoes
- 3 pounds small white or red potatoes
Seasoning and Herbs
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons minced garlic (about 6 to 7 cloves)
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley (or other fresh herbs)
- 1 teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
- Slice Potatoes: Preheat your oven to 400°F. Cut the potatoes in half or quarters if they are large, preparing them for even roasting.
- Mix Ingredients: Place the cut potatoes into a mixing bowl. Add the olive oil, minced garlic, fresh parsley, salt, and black pepper to the bowl with the potatoes.
- Toss to Coat: Toss the potatoes with the olive oil and seasonings until they are evenly coated on all sides.
- Arrange for Roasting: Spread the potatoes on a baking sheet in a single even layer, ensuring the cut sides are facing down for a crispier texture.
- Roast Potatoes: Roast the potatoes in the preheated oven for 45 to 55 minutes, stirring once halfway through to ensure even browning. The potatoes should become golden and crisp on the outside while soft inside.
- Garnish and Serve: Transfer the roasted potatoes to a serving bowl. Optionally sprinkle additional fresh parsley on top for a burst of color and fresh herbal flavor before serving.
Notes
- For extra crispy potatoes, make sure they are spaced out on the baking sheet to avoid steaming.
- You can substitute fresh parsley with other herbs like rosemary, thyme, or oregano for varied flavors.
- Use small potatoes to ensure even roasting without excessive cooking time.
- Adjust garlic quantity to your preferred level of pungency.
- These roasted potatoes pair well with a variety of main dishes including grilled meats and roasted vegetables.
