Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 large White potatoes (batata inglesa)
- 2 tablespoons Extra virgin olive oil
- 1 tablespoon Fresh rosemary
- 1 tablespoon Fresh thyme
- 3 large Garlic cloves
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.5 whole Lemon
- 1 tablespoon Fresh parsley
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Wash and scrub the white potatoes thoroughly to remove any dirt. Pat them dry with a clean towel.
Cut the potatoes into 1-inch cubes, leaving the skin on for added nutrients.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the olive oil, chopped rosemary, chopped thyme, minced garlic, salt, and black pepper.
Add the potato cubes to the bowl and toss them well until they are evenly coated with the oil and herb mixture.
Spread the coated potatoes in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
Roast the potatoes in the preheated oven for 40 to 45 minutes, turning them halfway through cooking, until they are golden brown and crispy on the outside.
Once roasted, remove the potatoes from the oven and squeeze the juice of half a lemon over them for a fresh zing.
Garnish with freshly chopped parsley before serving.
Serve warm as a delicious and nutritious side dish.
