Ingredients
- 8 pieces small to medium red or Yukon Gold potatoes
- 4 tablespoons olive oil
- 4 sprigs fresh rosemary sprigs
- 4 sprigs fresh thyme sprigs
- 4 pieces garlic cloves
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoons black pepper
- 2 tablespoons parmesan cheese (optional, grated)
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with olive oil.
Step 2
Wash and dry the potatoes. Slice each one in half lengthwise, keeping the sizes uniform to ensure even cooking.
Step 3
Place the potato halves in a large mixing bowl. Drizzle with 4 tablespoons of olive oil, then sprinkle with salt and black pepper. Toss well to coat evenly.
Step 4
Peel the garlic cloves and crush them gently with the side of a knife (do not mince).
Step 5
Arrange the potato halves cut-side down on the prepared baking sheet. Nestle the garlic cloves, rosemary sprigs, and thyme sprigs between the potatoes for even flavor distribution.
Step 6
Roast in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the cut sides of the potatoes are golden brown and crisp. Use a fork to check for tenderness.
Step 7
Optional: In the last 5 minutes of roasting, sprinkle grated parmesan cheese over the potatoes for a cheesy finish.
Step 8
Remove from the oven and discard the herb sprigs if desired. Transfer the potatoes to a serving dish and enjoy while warm!
