Scale

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)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) to ensure it reaches the perfect roasting temperature for crispy potatoes.
  2. 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.
  3. Arrange for Roasting: Spread the coated potatoes in a single layer on a baking sheet to ensure even cooking and maximum crispness.
  4. 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.
  5. 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.
