Servings: 4

Ingredients

  • Potatoes (2 pounds, diced (yukon gold or russet work well))
  • Olive oil (1/4 cup)
  • Garlic (6 cloves, minced)
  • Fresh rosemary (2 tablespoons, chopped)
  • Fresh thyme (2 tablespoons, chopped)
  • Salt (1 teaspoon)
  • Black pepper (1/2 teaspoon)
  • Parmesan cheese (1/4 cup, grated (optional, for added flavor))

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. In a large mixing bowl, add the diced potatoes. Pour in the olive oil and toss to coat evenly.
  3. Add the minced garlic, chopped rosemary, chopped thyme, salt, and black pepper to the bowl. Mix thoroughly until the potatoes are well-coated with the seasoning.
  4. Spread the seasoned potatoes out in a single layer on a baking sheet, ensuring they are not overcrowded for maximum crispiness.
  5. Roast in the preheated oven for about 45 minutes, turning the potatoes halfway through to ensure even browning.
  6. If using Parmesan cheese, sprinkle it over the potatoes during the last 10 minutes of roasting for a deliciously cheesy crust.
  7. Once golden brown and crispy, remove from the oven and let them cool slightly before serving. Enjoy them hot!
