Servings: 4

Ingredients

  • Potatoes (2 pounds, diced into 1-inch cubes)
  • Olive oil (3 tablespoons)
  • Garlic (6 cloves, minced)
  • Fresh thyme (2 teaspoons, chopped)
  • Fresh rosemary (2 teaspoons, chopped)
  • Salt (1 teaspoon, or to taste)
  • Black pepper (1/2 teaspoon, or to taste)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the diced potatoes with olive oil, minced garlic, chopped rosemary, chopped thyme, salt, and black pepper. Toss until the potatoes are thoroughly coated with the oil and seasonings.
  3. Spread the potatoes out in a single layer on a large baking sheet, ensuring they have enough space to roast evenly.
  4. Roast in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, turning the potatoes halfway through to achieve an even golden brown and crispy exterior.
  5. Once they are golden and crispy, remove from the oven and let cool for a few minutes before serving. Optionally, garnish with additional fresh herbs for a burst of color and flavor.
