Ingredients

  • Potatoes (2 pounds, cut into 1-inch cubes)
  • Olive oil (3 tablespoons)
  • Garlic (4 cloves, minced)
  • Fresh thyme (2 tablespoons, chopped (plus extra for garnish))
  • Salt (1 teaspoon)
  • Black pepper (1/2 teaspoon)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C).
  2. 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.
  3. Spread the potatoes in a single layer on a baking sheet. Make sure they are not overcrowded to ensure maximum crispiness.
  4. 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.
  5. Remove from the oven and let cool for a few minutes before serving.
  6. Garnish with additional fresh thyme, if desired, and serve hot.
