Ingredients

• 2 lbs Red potatoes
• 3 tbsp Olive oil
• 4 cloves Garlic cloves
• 2 tbsp Fresh rosemary
• 1.5 tbsp Fresh thyme
• 1 tsp Salt
• 0.5 tsp Ground black pepper
• 1 tsp Lemon zest
• 2 tbsp Parmesan cheese (optional)

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

Wash the red potatoes thoroughly and pat them dry. Cut the potatoes into 1-inch chunks, ensuring uniform size for even cooking.

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, toss the potato chunks with the olive oil, making sure each piece is well coated.

Step 4

Finely mince the garlic cloves and add them to the bowl along with the rosemary, thyme, salt, and black pepper. Toss everything together until the potatoes are evenly seasoned.

Step 5

Spread the seasoned potatoes in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring none of the pieces are overlapping. This helps them roast evenly and crisp up.

Step 6

Roast in the preheated oven for 35 minutes, flipping the potatoes halfway through cooking to ensure even browning on all sides.

Step 7

Once the potatoes are golden and crispy, remove them from the oven and sprinkle with lemon zest for a burst of freshness.

Step 8

Optional: Sprinkle with grated Parmesan cheese while the potatoes are still hot for an extra layer of flavor.

Step 9

Serve immediately as a side dish or enjoy them as a snack. These potatoes pair excellently with grilled meats, roasted vegetables, or alongside eggs for a hearty breakfast.
