Ingredients

• 5 whole small red potatoes
• 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon dried oregano
• 1 teaspoon dried thyme
• 0.5 teaspoon sea salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley
• 1 teaspoon lemon zest

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

Step 2

Wash the red potatoes thoroughly and pat them dry with a clean kitchen towel.

Step 3

Cut the potatoes into 1-inch cubes, ensuring they are all roughly the same size for even cooking.

Step 4

Place the potato cubes into a large mixing bowl. Drizzle with extra-virgin olive oil, ensuring all pieces are well coated.

Step 5

Add garlic powder, dried oregano, dried thyme, sea salt, and black pepper to the bowl. Toss everything together until the potatoes are evenly coated with the spices and herbs.

Step 6

Spread the seasoned potatoes out in a single layer on a large baking sheet lined with parchment paper for easy cleanup.

Step 7

Roast the potatoes in the preheated oven for 20 minutes. After 20 minutes, use a spatula to flip the potatoes and continue to roast for an additional 15-20 minutes, or until they are golden brown and crispy.

Step 8

Remove the potatoes from the oven and sprinkle with fresh parsley and lemon zest while still hot, tossing to evenly distribute these fresh flavors.

Step 9

Serve immediately as part of your breakfast or brunch, alongside your favorite Mediterranean dishes.
