Ingredients

• 1.5 pounds Fingerling potatoes
• 6 Garlic cloves
• 3 tablespoons Olive oil
• 2 teaspoons Fresh rosemary
• 1 teaspoon Fresh thyme leaves
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoons Freshly ground black pepper
• 0.5 teaspoons Lemon zest (optional)

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

Rinse the fingerling potatoes thoroughly under cold water to remove any dirt, then pat them dry with a clean kitchen towel.

Step 3

Slice the potatoes in half lengthwise to ensure even cooking.

Step 4

Peel the garlic cloves and lightly smash them with the side of a knife to release their flavor. Leave them whole or in large chunks.

Step 5

In a large mixing bowl, combine the potatoes, garlic, olive oil, rosemary, thyme, salt, and black pepper. Toss until the potatoes are evenly coated.

Step 6

Spread the potato mixture evenly onto the prepared baking sheet, ensuring the potatoes are in a single layer with their cut sides facing down for optimal crispiness.

Step 7

Roast the potatoes in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, flipping them halfway through cooking to promote even browning.

Step 8

Check for doneness by piercing a potato with a fork; it should be tender and golden brown.

Step 9

Remove the roasted potatoes from the oven and, if desired, sprinkle with lemon zest for a bright, zesty finish.

Step 10

Serve hot as a side dish and enjoy!
