Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams small yellow or red potatoes
- 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
- 2 pieces garlic cloves, minced
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon dried basil
- 1 teaspoon dried rosemary
- 0.5 teaspoon red pepper flakes
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- 0.5 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped (optional for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F).
Wash and scrub the potatoes thoroughly, leaving the skin on for extra texture and nutrients. Pat them dry with a paper towel.
Cut the potatoes into bite-sized chunks, roughly 2-3 cm in size, and transfer them to a large mixing bowl.
Drizzle the olive oil over the potatoes, then add the minced garlic, dried oregano, dried basil, dried rosemary, red pepper flakes, kosher salt, and freshly ground black pepper.
Using a large spoon or your hands, toss the potatoes until evenly coated with the olive oil and seasoning blend.
Spread the seasoned potatoes evenly on a large baking sheet lined with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat to prevent sticking.
Roast the potatoes in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, flipping them halfway through cooking to ensure they brown evenly.
Once the potatoes are golden brown and fork-tender, remove them from the oven and let them cool for a minute or two.
Garnish the potatoes with freshly chopped parsley, if desired, and serve hot.
