Ingredients

  • 2 pounds small red potatoes
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 3 units garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1 teaspoon dried rosemary
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
  • 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with cooking spray.

Step 2

Wash and scrub the red potatoes thoroughly. Pat them dry with a clean kitchen towel.

Step 3

Cut the potatoes into quarters or halves, depending on their size, ensuring that the pieces are roughly equal for even cooking.

Step 4

In a large mixing bowl, combine the potatoes, olive oil, minced garlic, dried thyme, dried rosemary, salt, and black pepper. Toss well to coat the potatoes evenly.

Step 5

Spread the seasoned potatoes in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, making sure they are not overcrowded.

Step 6

Roast the potatoes in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, stirring halfway through, until they are golden brown and fork-tender.

Step 7

Remove the potatoes from the oven and transfer them to a serving bowl. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley before serving.

Step 8

Serve warm as a side dish to complement your favorite main course.
