Servings: 4

Ingredients

  • Potatoes (2 pounds, cubed (yukon gold or red potatoes work best))
  • Olive oil (3 tablespoons)
  • Fresh thyme (2 teaspoons, chopped)
  • Fresh rosemary (2 teaspoons, chopped)
  • Salt (1 teaspoon, or to taste)
  • Black pepper (1/2 teaspoon, or to taste)
  • Goat cheese (4 ounces, crumbled)
  • Fresh parsley (2 tablespoons, chopped for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) to create the perfect environment for crispy potatoes.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, toss the cubed potatoes with olive oil, chopped rosemary, thyme, salt, and black pepper until well-coated.
  3. Spread the seasoned potatoes in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
  4. Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the potatoes are golden brown and crispy on the edges.
  5. Once the potatoes are done, remove them from the oven and sprinkle the crumbled goat cheese evenly over the top.
  6. Return the baking sheet to the oven for an additional 5 minutes, just until the cheese softens and begins to melt.
  7. Remove from the oven and garnish with freshly chopped parsley if desired. Serve hot and enjoy!
