Ingredients

• 500 grams small yellow or red potatoes
• 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
• 2 pieces garlic cloves, minced
• 1 teaspoon dried oregano
• 1 teaspoon dried basil
• 1 teaspoon dried rosemary
• 0.5 teaspoon red pepper flakes
• 1 teaspoon kosher salt
• 0.5 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
• 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped (optional for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F).

Step 2

Wash and scrub the potatoes thoroughly, leaving the skin on for extra texture and nutrients. Pat them dry with a paper towel.

Step 3

Cut the potatoes into bite-sized chunks, roughly 2-3 cm in size, and transfer them to a large mixing bowl.

Step 4

Drizzle the olive oil over the potatoes, then add the minced garlic, dried oregano, dried basil, dried rosemary, red pepper flakes, kosher salt, and freshly ground black pepper.

Step 5

Using a large spoon or your hands, toss the potatoes until evenly coated with the olive oil and seasoning blend.

Step 6

Spread the seasoned potatoes evenly on a large baking sheet lined with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat to prevent sticking.

Step 7

Roast the potatoes in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, flipping them halfway through cooking to ensure they brown evenly.

Step 8

Once the potatoes are golden brown and fork-tender, remove them from the oven and let them cool for a minute or two.

Step 9

Garnish the potatoes with freshly chopped parsley, if desired, and serve hot.
