Description
Roasted potatoes are a simple yet delicious side dish, crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. They’re seasoned with herbs and garlic, making them a perfect accompaniment to almost any main course, from roasted meats to vegetarian entrées.
Ingredients
2 lbs (about 900 g) baby potatoes or Yukon gold, cut into bite-sized pieces
2 tbsp olive oil
1 tsp garlic powder or 2 garlic cloves, minced
1 tsp dried rosemary or thyme
Salt and black pepper to taste
Fresh parsley for garnish (optional)
Instructions
1 Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
2 Prepare the potatoes: In a large bowl, toss the potato pieces with olive oil, garlic, rosemary, salt, and pepper until evenly coated.
3 Roast the potatoes: Spread the seasoned potatoes in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Roast for 25-30 minutes, flipping once halfway through, until they are golden brown and crispy on the outside and tender inside.
4 Garnish and serve: Transfer the roasted potatoes to a serving dish and sprinkle with chopped parsley if desired. Serve hot.
Notes
For extra crispiness, soak the cut potatoes in cold water for 30 minutes, then pat them dry before seasoning. You can also add paprika or Parmesan cheese for an added layer of flavor. These potatoes reheat well in the oven or air fryer.
