Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 pounds Baby potatoes (or small to medium-sized potatoes)
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
- 3 units Garlic cloves (minced)
- 2 teaspoons Fresh rosemary (chopped)
- 2 teaspoons Fresh thyme (chopped)
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper (freshly ground)
- 0.25 cup Parmesan cheese (grated, optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Wash the potatoes thoroughly to remove any dirt. Pat them dry with a clean kitchen towel.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the olive oil, minced garlic, chopped rosemary, chopped thyme, salt, and black pepper.
Add the potatoes to the bowl and toss them well to coat them evenly with the oil and herb mixture.
Transfer the coated potatoes to a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or lightly greased.
Spread the potatoes out in a single layer to ensure even roasting.
Place the tray in the preheated oven and roast for 40-45 minutes, tossing the potatoes halfway through to promote even browning.
Check for doneness by piercing the largest potato with a fork; it should slide in easily.
Optional: Sprinkle grated Parmesan cheese over the potatoes during the last 5 minutes of roasting for an added layer of flavor.
Remove the potatoes from the oven, let them rest for 2-3 minutes, and serve warm.
