Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
- In a large bowl, combine the cut potatoes, olive oil, picked thyme leaves, dried lavender, salt, and freshly ground black pepper. Toss until the potatoes are evenly coated in the oil and herbs.
- Spread the potatoes in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring they have enough space between them for crispiness.
- Roast in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the potatoes are golden brown and crispy. Stir the potatoes once halfway through the cooking time for even roasting.
- Remove the potatoes from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes before serving to allow the flavors to meld together.
