Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pounds small red potatoes
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 3 units garlic cloves, minced
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1 teaspoon dried rosemary
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with cooking spray.
Wash and scrub the red potatoes thoroughly. Pat them dry with a clean kitchen towel.
Cut the potatoes into quarters or halves, depending on their size, ensuring that the pieces are roughly equal for even cooking.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the potatoes, olive oil, minced garlic, dried thyme, dried rosemary, salt, and black pepper. Toss well to coat the potatoes evenly.
Spread the seasoned potatoes in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, making sure they are not overcrowded.
Roast the potatoes in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, stirring halfway through, until they are golden brown and fork-tender.
Remove the potatoes from the oven and transfer them to a serving bowl. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley before serving.
Serve warm as a side dish to complement your favorite main course.
