🛒 Ingredients
- 2 pounds small potatoes (such as Yukon Gold or baby red potatoes)
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- Salt, to taste
- Black pepper, to taste
- Fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)
👩🍳 Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Wash and dry the potatoes thoroughly. If large, cut them in half.
- In a large bowl, mix olive oil, minced garlic, dried thyme, salt, and pepper.
- Add the potatoes and toss well to coat evenly.
- Spread the potatoes in a single layer on a baking sheet.
- Roast for 35–45 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden brown and crispy.
- Garnish with fresh parsley and serve hot.
💡 Tips
- For extra crispiness, boil the potatoes for 10 minutes before roasting.
- Don’t overcrowd the baking sheet—this helps them crisp up better.
- Add grated parmesan cheese in the last 5 minutes for a cheesy twist.
- Use fresh thyme instead of dried for a stronger herbal flavor.
- Serve alongside grilled chicken, steak, or fish for a complete meal.
Enjoy your perfectly crispy, flavorful potatoes! 🥔✨
