Ingredients

Scale

Potatoes

  • 2 pounds Yukon Gold or red potatoes, washed and cut into evenly sized cubes or wedges

Garlic and Herbs

  • 3 to 4 fresh garlic cloves, minced
  • 2 tbsp fresh rosemary, thyme, or parsley, chopped

Oils and Seasonings

  • 3 tbsp olive oil
  • Salt, to taste
  • Black pepper, to taste
  • Optional: 1 tsp lemon zest or 1 tbsp lemon juice

Instructions

  1. Prep the Potatoes: Start by washing and drying your potatoes thoroughly to ensure they crisp up well. Cut them into evenly sized cubes or wedges to allow uniform roasting.
  2. Mince Garlic and Chop Herbs: Finely mince fresh garlic cloves and chop your chosen herbs to release their full flavor in the dish. Mix them together with olive oil in a large bowl.
  3. Toss Potatoes with Garlic and Oil: Add the potatoes to the garlic and herb mixture, tossing until every piece is well coated. This ensures each bite is infused with that signature garlicky goodness.
  4. Season and Arrange on Baking Sheet: Sprinkle salt and pepper evenly over the potatoes. Spread them out in a single layer on a baking sheet to ensure even roasting and maximum crispiness.
  5. Roast Until Golden and Crispy: Bake at 425°F (220°C) for about 30 to 40 minutes, flipping halfway through. The result will be irresistibly crispy edges with a tender interior.

Notes

  • Choose starchy potatoes like Yukon Gold for the best crispy exterior and fluffy interior.
  • Do not crowd the pan; spreading potatoes out helps them roast instead of steam.
  • Use fresh garlic for the most aromatic and vibrant flavor.
  • Flip potatoes halfway through cooking to ensure even golden crispiness.
  • Add delicate herbs like parsley fresh at the end to keep their color and flavor bright.
