Ingredients
-
2 pounds (about 900g) red potatoes, washed and cut into bite-sized pieces
-
2-3 tablespoons olive oil
-
2-3 cloves garlic, minced
-
1 teaspoon dried rosemary (or 2-3 sprigs of fresh rosemary)
-
1 teaspoon dried thyme
-
Salt and black pepper, to taste
-
Optional: 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese for added flavor (optional)
Directions
1. Preheat the Oven:
- Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
2. Prepare the Potatoes:
- Wash the red potatoes thoroughly, and if they are large, cut them into bite-sized pieces. You can leave the skins on for added texture and flavor.
3. Season the Potatoes:
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the red potato pieces, minced garlic, dried rosemary, dried thyme, and a generous drizzle of olive oil. Season with salt and black pepper to taste.
- Toss the potatoes until they are evenly coated with the oil and seasonings. If you're using fresh rosemary, strip the leaves from the sprigs and add them to the mixture.
4. Arrange the Potatoes on a Baking Sheet:
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it. Spread the seasoned red potatoes in a single layer on the baking sheet. This ensures they roast evenly.
5. Roast the Potatoes:
- Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and roast for about 30-35 minutes, or until the potatoes are golden brown and fork-tender. Make sure to give them a gentle stir or shake the pan a few times during the roasting process to ensure even cooking.
6. Optional: Add Parmesan Cheese (if desired):
- About 5 minutes before the potatoes are done, you can sprinkle grated Parmesan cheese over them for an extra layer of flavor. Return the baking sheet to the oven until the cheese is melted and slightly crispy.
7. Serve and Enjoy:
- Once the potatoes are roasted to your desired level of crispiness, remove them from the oven. Let them cool for a couple of minutes, then transfer them to a serving dish.
- Garnish with additional fresh rosemary, if you like. These roasted red potatoes are best served hot as a delightful side dish for any meal.
- These roasted red potatoes are a crowd-pleaser and can be easily customized with your favorite herbs and seasonings. Enjoy the crispy, golden exterior and the tender, flavorful interior of these delectable potatoes.
