Ingredients

• 2 pounds Yukon Gold potatoes
• 3 tablespoons Olive oil
• 3 tablespoons Unsalted butter
• 4 Fresh garlic cloves
• 2 sprigs Fresh rosemary
• 2 sprigs Fresh thyme
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 0.25 cup Parmesan cheese (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with olive oil.

Step 2

Scrub the Yukon Gold potatoes clean under cold water. Leave the skins on for extra flavor and texture. Cut the potatoes into 1-inch cubes or wedges for an even cook.

Step 3

Place the cut potatoes into a large mixing bowl. Add olive oil, salt, and black pepper. Toss well to coat the potatoes evenly.

Step 4

Spread the potatoes in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring they have space between them for better crisping.

Step 5

Bake the potatoes in the oven for 30 minutes, flipping them halfway through to ensure both sides become golden and crispy.

Step 6

While the potatoes bake, peel and finely mince the garlic cloves. In a small saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and stir for 1-2 minutes until fragrant but not browned. Remove from heat and set aside.

Step 7

Chop the rosemary and thyme finely, discarding tough stems. Add the herbs to the garlic butter.

Step 8

After 30 minutes, remove the potatoes from the oven. Drizzle the garlic-herb butter over the potatoes, using a spatula to mix and coat them evenly. If desired, sprinkle Parmesan cheese over the top for extra indulgence.

Step 9

Return the potatoes to the oven and bake for another 10-15 minutes, or until the edges are deeply crispy and golden.

Step 10

Remove the potatoes from the oven and let them cool slightly. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed. Serve hot, garnished with a bit of additional fresh herbs or Parmesan.
