Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 lbs Yukon Gold potatoes
- 3 tbsp Extra virgin olive oil
- 4 cloves Garlic cloves
- 2 sprigs Fresh rosemary
- 1 tsp Fresh thyme
- 1 tsp Salt
- 0.5 tsp Ground black pepper
- 0.25 tsp Red chili flakes (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
Wash and scrub the Yukon Gold potatoes thoroughly. Pat them dry with a clean kitchen towel.
Cut the potatoes into evenly sized wedges or cubes, about 1-inch thick, to ensure even cooking.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the potatoes, olive oil, minced garlic (or crush the cloves lightly and leave them whole for a milder flavor), rosemary sprigs, thyme, salt, pepper, and red chili flakes (if using). Toss until the potatoes are well coated with the oil and seasonings.
Spread the seasoned potatoes evenly across the baking sheet, ensuring they are in a single layer and not crowded. This helps them achieve maximum crispiness.
Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and roast the potatoes for 35-40 minutes, flipping them halfway through to ensure even browning.
The potatoes are ready when they are golden, crispy on the outside, and tender on the inside. Remove them from the oven and discard the rosemary sprigs.
Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary by adding a touch more salt or pepper.
Serve the Italian Oven Potatoes immediately as a side dish with your favorite main course, such as grilled chicken or roasted vegetables. Enjoy!
