Ingredients

Scale

Ingredients

  • 2 pounds potatoes, peeled and cut into chunks
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons fresh rosemary, chopped
  • 2 tablespoons fresh thyme, chopped
  • Salt, to taste
  • Freshly ground black pepper, to taste

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven: Set your oven to 425°F (220°C) and allow it to fully preheat to ensure a hot environment for roasting.
  2. Prepare the potatoes: Peel and cut the potatoes into evenly sized chunks to ensure even cooking. Rinse them under cold water to remove excess starch and pat dry thoroughly for maximum crispiness.
  3. Toss with oil and herbs: In a large bowl, combine the potato chunks with olive oil, chopped fresh rosemary, chopped fresh thyme, salt, and pepper. Toss well to coat every piece evenly.
  4. Roast the potatoes: Spread the potatoes out evenly on a baking sheet in a single layer. Roast in the preheated oven for 40-45 minutes, turning occasionally, until golden brown and crispy on the outside and tender inside.
  5. Serve warm: Remove the potatoes from the oven and let them sit for a couple of minutes before transferring to a serving dish. Enjoy as a savory side dish to your favorite main course.

Notes

  • Use starchy potatoes like Russets or Yukon Gold for the best crispy texture.
  • Make sure potatoes are dry before tossing in oil to avoid steaming instead of roasting.
  • Feel free to swap the herbs based on preference; parsley or oregano also work well.
  • Turning the potatoes halfway through cooking promotes even browning.
  • Adjust seasoning to taste before serving.
