Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pounds Yukon Gold potatoes
- 4 large Garlic cloves
- 3 tablespoons Extra virgin olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon Dried basil
- 0.5 teaspoon Dried thyme
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
Scrub the Yukon Gold potatoes clean under cold water, then pat dry. Cut them into uniform 1-inch cubes to ensure even roasting.
Peel and mince the large garlic cloves finely, or use a garlic press for convenience.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the cubed potatoes with the minced garlic, extra virgin olive oil, dried oregano, dried basil, dried thyme, salt, and black pepper.
Toss the potatoes thoroughly to ensure each piece is evenly coated with the seasoning and oil.
Spread the potatoes in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring they are not overcrowded. Overcrowding may prevent proper caramelization.
Roast the potatoes in the preheated oven for 40 minutes, flipping them halfway through cooking to ensure all sides turn golden and crispy.
Once roasted to perfection, remove the potatoes from the oven and transfer them to a serving dish.
Finely chop the fresh parsley and sprinkle it over the warm roasted potatoes for a burst of freshness and color.
Serve immediately as a side dish to complement your favorite main courses, such as roasted chicken, steak, or grilled vegetables.
