Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pounds Yukon Gold potatoes
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
- 3 large Garlic cloves
- 1 tablespoon Fresh rosemary
- 1 tablespoon Fresh thyme
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Parsley
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or foil for easy cleanup.
Peel and cut the Yukon Gold potatoes into 1-inch cubes, ensuring they are roughly the same size to ensure even cooking.
Rinse the potato cubes in cold water to remove excess starch, then pat them dry thoroughly with a clean kitchen towel.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the potatoes with olive oil, finely minced garlic, chopped fresh rosemary, and thyme.
Add salt and black pepper to the potato mixture and toss them well to ensure they are evenly coated with the seasonings.
Spread the seasoned potatoes out in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, with enough space between each piece to promote even browning.
Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and roast for 25 minutes, then carefully flip the potatoes with a spatula to ensure even roasting.
Return to the oven and continue roasting for an additional 20 minutes or until the potatoes are golden brown and crispy.
Once roasted, remove from the oven and allow the potatoes to cool slightly on the baking sheet for 5 minutes.
Transfer the potatoes to a serving platter and garnish with chopped fresh parsley, then serve immediately while hot and crisp.
