Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C).
- In a large bowl, combine the cubed potatoes, olive oil, minced garlic, chopped thyme, salt, and black pepper. Toss until the potatoes are evenly coated with the oil and seasonings.
- Spread the potatoes in a single layer on a baking sheet. Make sure they are not overcrowded to ensure maximum crispiness.
- Roast in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until the potatoes are golden brown and crispy. Flip the potatoes halfway through cooking for even browning.
- Remove from the oven and let cool for a few minutes before serving.
- Garnish with additional fresh thyme, if desired, and serve hot.
Tips
- For extra flavor, consider adding a squeeze of lemon juice just before serving.
- You can experiment by adding other herbs like rosemary or parsley for a different twist.
- For a spicier version, sprinkle some red pepper flakes in the mix.
