Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 units medium potatoes
- 4 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons fresh rosemary
- 2 tablespoons fresh thyme
- 4 units garlic cloves
- 1 teaspoon lemon zest
- 1 teaspoon sea salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Wash and scrub the potatoes thoroughly under running water. Pat them dry with a clean towel.
Cut the potatoes into quarters, ensuring the pieces are roughly the same size for even roasting.
In a large mixing bowl, combine olive oil, chopped fresh rosemary, thyme, minced garlic, lemon zest, sea salt, and black pepper.
Add the quartered potatoes to the bowl, tossing them well to ensure they are evenly coated with the herbed olive oil mixture.
Spread the coated potatoes evenly on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and roast for 35-45 minutes, or until the potatoes are golden brown and tender, flipping them halfway through for even cooking.
Remove the potatoes from the oven when done and let them rest for a few minutes before serving.
Serve the potatoes warm, garnished with a sprinkle of additional fresh herbs if desired.
