Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with olive oil.
Wash the red potatoes thoroughly and pat them dry. Cut the potatoes into 1-inch chunks, ensuring uniform size for even cooking.
In a large mixing bowl, toss the potato chunks with the olive oil, making sure each piece is well coated.
Finely mince the garlic cloves and add them to the bowl along with the rosemary, thyme, salt, and black pepper. Toss everything together until the potatoes are evenly seasoned.
Spread the seasoned potatoes in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring none of the pieces are overlapping. This helps them roast evenly and crisp up.
Roast in the preheated oven for 35 minutes, flipping the potatoes halfway through cooking to ensure even browning on all sides.
Once the potatoes are golden and crispy, remove them from the oven and sprinkle with lemon zest for a burst of freshness.
Optional: Sprinkle with grated Parmesan cheese while the potatoes are still hot for an extra layer of flavor.
Serve immediately as a side dish or enjoy them as a snack. These potatoes pair excellently with grilled meats, roasted vegetables, or alongside eggs for a hearty breakfast.
