Ingredients
- 2 lbs potatoes, chopped
- 4 garlic cloves, minced
- 1/4 cup olive oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) to ensure it reaches the perfect roasting temperature for crispy potatoes.
- Toss Potatoes with Seasoning: In a large bowl, combine the chopped potatoes with olive oil, minced garlic, salt, and pepper, mixing well to coat each piece evenly.
- Arrange for Roasting: Spread the coated potatoes in a single layer on a baking sheet to ensure even cooking and maximum crispness.
- Roast Potatoes: Roast in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, turning the potatoes halfway through cooking to get an evenly golden and crisp texture.
- Garnish and Serve: Once roasted, remove from the oven, sprinkle with fresh chopped parsley for a burst of color and fresh flavor, and serve warm.
Notes
- For extra crispy potatoes, you can parboil them for 5 minutes before roasting.
- Feel free to add other herbs like rosemary or thyme for additional flavor.
- If you prefer a spicier kick, add a pinch of smoked paprika or chili flakes.
- Using Yukon Gold or Russet potatoes works best for roasting.
- Make sure the potatoes are spread out without overlapping to get crispy edges.
