Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper for easier cleanup.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the cut potatoes, olive oil, minced garlic, chopped rosemary, chopped thyme, salt, and black pepper. Toss well until the potatoes are evenly coated and the herbs are distributed throughout.
- Spread the seasoned potatoes out in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Ensure the potatoes have space between them for maximum crispiness.
- Bake the potatoes in the preheated oven for 15 minutes. After 15 minutes, use a spatula to flip the potatoes to ensure even cooking.
- Continue baking for another 15-20 minutes, or until the potatoes are golden brown and crispy. If using Parmesan cheese, sprinkle it over the potatoes during the last 5 minutes of baking for a delicious cheesy crust.
- Once done, remove from the oven and let cool for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy these Herbed Country Potatoes hot as a perfect side dish to any meal!
Tips
- For an extra kick, add a pinch of red pepper flakes to the herb mixture.
- Try using a mix of different types of potatoes, such as Yukon Gold and red potatoes, for varied texture and flavor.
- Feel free to substitute the fresh herbs with dried herbs if fresh ones are unavailable; use about one-third of the amount.
