Ingredients

• 4 large Russet potatoes
• 3 tablespoons Olive oil
• 3 minced Garlic cloves
• 1 teaspoon Dried oregano
• 1 teaspoon Dried basil
• 1 teaspoon Dried thyme
• 0.5 teaspoon Crushed red pepper flakes
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 0.25 cup Parmesan cheese
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with olive oil.

Step 2

Wash and scrub the potatoes thoroughly. Optionally, peel the skins if desired. Cut the potatoes into bite-sized wedges or cubes, about 1 inch thick.

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, combine the olive oil, minced garlic, dried oregano, dried basil, dried thyme, crushed red pepper flakes, salt, and black pepper. Stir to form a flavorful oil mixture.

Step 4

Add the potato pieces to the mixing bowl and toss until the potatoes are evenly coated with the oil and herb mixture.

Step 5

Spread the coated potatoes out onto the prepared baking sheet in a single layer, ensuring they are not overcrowded for even roasting.

Step 6

Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and roast the potatoes for 35-40 minutes, flipping them halfway through, until they are golden brown and crisp on the outside and tender on the inside.

Step 7

Remove the roasted potatoes from the oven and transfer them to a serving dish. While still warm, sprinkle grated Parmesan cheese over the top and garnish with freshly chopped parsley.

Step 8

Serve immediately as a delicious side dish that pairs well with a variety of main courses, such as roasted chicken, grilled steak, or vegetable pasta.
