Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 large Russet potatoes
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
- 3 minced Garlic cloves
- 1 teaspoon Dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon Dried basil
- 1 teaspoon Dried thyme
- 0.5 teaspoon Crushed red pepper flakes
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.25 cup Parmesan cheese
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with olive oil.
Wash and scrub the potatoes thoroughly. Optionally, peel the skins if desired. Cut the potatoes into bite-sized wedges or cubes, about 1 inch thick.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the olive oil, minced garlic, dried oregano, dried basil, dried thyme, crushed red pepper flakes, salt, and black pepper. Stir to form a flavorful oil mixture.
Add the potato pieces to the mixing bowl and toss until the potatoes are evenly coated with the oil and herb mixture.
Spread the coated potatoes out onto the prepared baking sheet in a single layer, ensuring they are not overcrowded for even roasting.
Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and roast the potatoes for 35-40 minutes, flipping them halfway through, until they are golden brown and crisp on the outside and tender on the inside.
Remove the roasted potatoes from the oven and transfer them to a serving dish. While still warm, sprinkle grated Parmesan cheese over the top and garnish with freshly chopped parsley.
Serve immediately as a delicious side dish that pairs well with a variety of main courses, such as roasted chicken, grilled steak, or vegetable pasta.
