Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pounds red potatoes
- 4 cloves garlic cloves
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 1.5 teaspoons salt
- 1 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
Wash the red potatoes thoroughly and pat them dry. Cut them into evenly sized 1-inch cubes to ensure they cook evenly.
Peel the garlic cloves and mince them finely.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the cubed potatoes, minced garlic, and olive oil. Toss well to coat the potatoes evenly.
Sprinkle the salt, black pepper, and dried thyme over the potatoes. Toss again to make sure the seasonings are evenly distributed.
Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with cooking spray. Spread the potatoes out in a single layer, ensuring they aren’t crowded to promote even roasting.
Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and roast the potatoes for 30-35 minutes, stirring halfway through to ensure even browning.
Check for doneness by piercing a potato cube with a fork. It should be tender on the inside and golden brown with crispy edges on the outside.
Remove the roasted potatoes from the oven and transfer them to a serving dish. If desired, sprinkle with fresh chopped parsley for added color and flavor.
Serve hot and enjoy your Garlic Roasted Red Potatoes as a delicious side dish!
