Ingredients

• 2 pounds red potatoes
• 3 tablespoons olive oil
• 4 large garlic cloves
• 2 teaspoons fresh rosemary
• 2 teaspoons fresh thyme
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 2 tablespoons parsley (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

Step 2

Wash and scrub the red potatoes thoroughly, leaving the skins on for added texture and flavor.

Step 3

Cut the potatoes into evenly-sized quarters or halves, depending on their size, to ensure even cooking.

Step 4

Finely mince the garlic cloves and chop the fresh rosemary and thyme.

Step 5

In a large mixing bowl, combine the olive oil, minced garlic, rosemary, thyme, salt, and black pepper.

Step 6

Add the cut potatoes to the bowl and toss until they are evenly coated with the seasoning mixture.

Step 7

Spread the potatoes out in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or lightly greased to prevent sticking.

Step 8

Roast the potatoes in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, flipping them halfway through, until they are golden brown and crispy on the outside and tender on the inside.

Step 9

Remove the potatoes from the oven and transfer them to a serving dish.

Step 10

Optional: Sprinkle chopped parsley over the potatoes for a fresh garnish and an extra pop of color.

Step 11

Serve warm and enjoy!
