Ingredients

Potatoes

  • 3 pounds small white or red potatoes

Seasoning and Oil

  • 3 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons minced garlic (about 6 to 7 cloves)
  • 2 tablespoons fresh parsley (or other herbs)
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper

Instructions

  1. Prepare the potatoes: Slice the potatoes in half or into quarters if they are larger pieces. This ensures even cooking and helps achieve a crispy texture.
  2. Preheat the oven: Set your oven to 400°F (200°C) to ensure it's at the right temperature for roasting when the potatoes are ready.
  3. Toss the potatoes with seasoning: In a large mixing bowl, combine the cut potatoes with olive oil, minced garlic, fresh parsley, salt, and black pepper. Mix thoroughly to coat every piece evenly for maximum flavor.
  4. Arrange on baking sheet: Spread the seasoned potatoes out in a single even layer on a sheet pan. For extra crispiness, place the potatoes cut side down.
  5. Roast the potatoes: Place the sheet pan in the preheated oven and roast for 45 to 55 minutes. Stir the potatoes halfway through cooking to brown evenly.
  6. Finish and serve: Once golden and crispy, transfer the potatoes to a serving bowl. Optionally, garnish with additional fresh parsley before serving to add a bright, fresh touch.

Notes

  • For best results, use small red or white potatoes for even roasting and a tender interior.
  • Cutting potatoes into uniform sizes helps them cook evenly and crisp up perfectly.
  • You can substitute fresh parsley with other herbs like rosemary or thyme according to preference.
  • Make sure to spread potatoes in a single layer without crowding to avoid steaming instead of roasting.
  • Adjust salt and garlic quantities to taste if preferred milder or stronger flavors.
