Ingredients

• 4 large Russet potatoes
• 3 tbsp Extra-virgin olive oil
• 4 large Garlic cloves
• 2 tsp Fresh rosemary
• 2 tsp Fresh thyme
• 2 tbsp Fresh parsley
• 1 tsp Salt
• 0.5 tsp Black pepper
• 1 tsp Lemon zest

Directions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).

Step 2

Wash and scrub the Russet potatoes thoroughly. Leave the skin on for added fiber and nutrients.

Step 3

Cut the potatoes into even wedges or chunks, approximately 1-inch thick, to ensure even cooking.

Step 4

In a large mixing bowl, combine the potato pieces with olive oil, crushed garlic cloves, fresh rosemary, and fresh thyme. Toss to ensure the potatoes are evenly coated.

Step 5

Season the potatoes with salt and black pepper, then toss again to distribute the seasonings evenly.

Step 6

Spread the potatoes out in a single layer on a large baking sheet. Be sure they are not overcrowded to allow them to roast evenly and become crispy.

Step 7

Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and roast the potatoes for 40-45 minutes, turning them halfway through the cooking time to ensure they brown evenly on all sides.

Step 8

While the potatoes are roasting, finely chop the fresh parsley and prepare the lemon zest.

Step 9

Once the potatoes are golden brown and crispy, remove them from the oven.

Step 10

Sprinkle the chopped parsley and lemon zest over the hot potatoes, and toss them gently to combine.

Step 11

Serve the Mediterranean diet batata inglesa assada hot, either as a side dish or a light main meal, and enjoy the vibrant Mediterranean flavors.
