  • Category: Side Dish
  • Method: Roasting
  • Cuisine: American, European
  • Diet: Gluten Free

Ingredients

  • 2–3 lbs Yukon gold or russet potatoes, peeled (optional) and cut into 1–2 inch chunks
  • 3 tbsp olive oil
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced or grated
  • 2 tsp fresh rosemary, thyme, or parsley (or ¾ tsp dried)
  • Salt and black pepper, to taste
  • Optional: ½ tsp garlic powder, ½ tsp onion powder, ½ tsp paprika or smoked paprika, ¼ cup grated Parmesan

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C).
  2. Boil potatoes in salted water for about 10 minutes, until just tender but not falling apart.
  3. Drain and let them steam dry for 1–2 minutes. Gently shake them in the pot or bowl to rough up edges.
  4. Toss potatoes with olive oil, garlic, herbs, salt, pepper, and any optional seasonings.
  5. Spread on a baking sheet in a single layer, making sure not to overcrowd.
  6. Roast for 40–45 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden and crispy.
  7. Sprinkle with extra herbs or Parmesan before serving if desired.

Notes

  • Don’t skip the parboiling step—it helps create fluffy centers and crispy edges.
  • Avoid overcrowding the baking sheet for the crispiest results.
  • Add chili flakes or lemon zest for extra flavor.
  • Use an air fryer to reheat leftovers and keep them crisp.
