Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pounds Yukon Gold potatoes
- 3 tablespoons Extra virgin olive oil
- 4 units Garlic cloves, minced
- 1 tablespoon Fresh rosemary, chopped
- 1 tablespoon Fresh thyme leaves
- 1 teaspoon Lemon zest
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C).
Wash and scrub the Yukon Gold potatoes thoroughly. Pat them dry with a towel.
Cut the potatoes into evenly-sized 1-inch cubes to ensure even roasting.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the olive oil, minced garlic, chopped rosemary, thyme leaves, lemon zest, salt, and black pepper.
Add the potato cubes to the bowl and toss them gently but thoroughly to coat each piece with the herb and oil mixture.
Spread the coated potatoes in a single layer on a large baking sheet. Use parchment paper or lightly grease the tray to prevent sticking.
Roast the potatoes in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until they are golden and crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. Flip the potatoes halfway through the cooking time to ensure even browning.
Remove the potatoes from the oven when done and transfer them to a serving dish.
Garnish with freshly chopped parsley and serve warm.
