Ingredients

Scale

Potatoes

  • 2 lbs potatoes, chopped

Seasoning

  • 4 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1/4 cup olive oil
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Garnish

  • 1 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) to ensure it’s hot enough for roasting the potatoes to a crisp golden brown.
  2. Prepare Potatoes: In a large bowl, toss the chopped potatoes with olive oil, minced garlic, salt, and pepper, making sure each piece is evenly coated for maximum flavor.
  3. Arrange on Baking Sheet: Spread the seasoned potatoes in a single layer on a baking sheet to enable even roasting and prevent sogginess.
  4. Roast Potatoes: Place the baking sheet in the oven and roast the potatoes for 35-40 minutes, turning them halfway through the cooking time to ensure they brown evenly on all sides.
  5. Garnish and Serve: Once golden and tender, remove the potatoes from the oven, sprinkle with freshly chopped parsley, and serve hot as a delicious side dish.

Notes

  • Choose starchy potatoes like Russets for a crispier texture, or Yukon Golds for a creamier interior.
  • For extra flavor, add herbs like rosemary or thyme along with the garlic.
  • Make sure to cut potatoes into uniform pieces for even cooking.
  • Turning potatoes halfway through ensures they roast evenly and develop a uniform golden crust.
  • These can be prepared ahead by seasoning the potatoes and refrigerating before roasting.
