Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 pieces medium-sized Yukon Gold potatoes
- 3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 3 pieces garlic cloves, minced
- 2 teaspoons fresh rosemary, chopped
- 2 teaspoons fresh thyme, chopped
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
Wash and scrub the potatoes under cold water to remove any dirt. Pat them dry with a kitchen towel.
Cut the potatoes into uniform 1-inch cubes to ensure even cooking.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the potato cubes, olive oil, salt, and black pepper. Toss until all the potatoes are evenly coated.
Add the minced garlic, rosemary, and thyme to the bowl and mix well with the potatoes.
Spread the seasoned potatoes onto a large baking sheet in a single layer to ensure they roast evenly.
Place the baking sheet on the middle rack of the preheated oven.
Roast for 40 to 45 minutes, turning the potatoes halfway through, until they are golden brown and crispy on the outside.
Check the potatoes for doneness by inserting a fork; they should be tender on the inside.
Remove the baking sheet from the oven and let the potatoes cool for a few minutes before serving.
Garnish with additional rosemary or thyme if desired, and serve warm.
