Ingredients
- 2 pounds red potatoes
- 4 cloves garlic cloves
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 1.5 teaspoons salt
- 1 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley (optional)
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
Step 2
Wash the red potatoes thoroughly and pat them dry. Cut them into evenly sized 1-inch cubes to ensure they cook evenly.
Step 3
Peel the garlic cloves and mince them finely.
Step 4
In a large mixing bowl, combine the cubed potatoes, minced garlic, and olive oil. Toss well to coat the potatoes evenly.
Step 5
Sprinkle the salt, black pepper, and dried thyme over the potatoes. Toss again to make sure the seasonings are evenly distributed.
Step 6
Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with cooking spray. Spread the potatoes out in a single layer, ensuring they aren’t crowded to promote even roasting.
Step 7
Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and roast the potatoes for 30-35 minutes, stirring halfway through to ensure even browning.
Step 8
Check for doneness by piercing a potato cube with a fork. It should be tender on the inside and golden brown with crispy edges on the outside.
Step 9
Remove the roasted potatoes from the oven and transfer them to a serving dish. If desired, sprinkle with fresh chopped parsley for added color and flavor.
Step 10
Serve hot and enjoy your Garlic Roasted Red Potatoes as a delicious side dish!
