Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 8 pieces small to medium red or Yukon Gold potatoes
- 4 tablespoons olive oil
- 4 sprigs fresh rosemary sprigs
- 4 sprigs fresh thyme sprigs
- 4 pieces garlic cloves
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoons black pepper
- 2 tablespoons parmesan cheese (optional, grated)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with olive oil.
Wash and dry the potatoes. Slice each one in half lengthwise, keeping the sizes uniform to ensure even cooking.
Place the potato halves in a large mixing bowl. Drizzle with 4 tablespoons of olive oil, then sprinkle with salt and black pepper. Toss well to coat evenly.
Peel the garlic cloves and crush them gently with the side of a knife (do not mince).
Arrange the potato halves cut-side down on the prepared baking sheet. Nestle the garlic cloves, rosemary sprigs, and thyme sprigs between the potatoes for even flavor distribution.
Roast in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the cut sides of the potatoes are golden brown and crisp. Use a fork to check for tenderness.
Optional: In the last 5 minutes of roasting, sprinkle grated parmesan cheese over the potatoes for a cheesy finish.
Remove from the oven and discard the herb sprigs if desired. Transfer the potatoes to a serving dish and enjoy while warm!
