Ingredients
- 500 grams Baby potatoes
- 2 sprigs Fresh rosemary
- 3 whole Garlic cloves
- 50 ml Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Dried thyme
- 1 teaspoon Dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Freshly ground black pepper
- 1 tablespoon Fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)
Directions
Step 1
Wash and scrub the baby potatoes thoroughly to remove any dirt. Leave the skins on for added texture and flavor.
Step 2
Cut the potatoes into quarters for even cooking. If the potatoes are very small, you can simply halve them.
Step 3
Peel the garlic cloves, but leave them whole to infuse the oil with their aroma without overpowering the dish.
Step 4
Heat the olive oil in a large frying pan over medium heat.
Step 5
Once the oil is hot, add the garlic cloves and fresh rosemary sprigs. Sauté for 1-2 minutes to release their flavors into the oil.
Step 6
Add the quartered potatoes to the pan, spreading them out in a single layer to ensure they cook evenly.
Step 7
Sprinkle the dried thyme, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper over the potatoes. Toss gently to coat the potatoes with the herbs and seasonings.
Step 8
Cook the potatoes over medium heat for about 20-25 minutes, stirring occasionally to ensure they brown evenly on all sides.
Step 9
Check the potatoes for doneness by piercing them with a fork; they should be tender inside and golden-crispy on the outside.
Step 10
Once cooked, remove the potatoes from the heat and discard the rosemary sprigs and garlic cloves if desired (or leave them for extra flavor).
Step 11
Transfer the potatoes to a serving dish and garnish with fresh parsley if desired. Serve warm and enjoy!
