Ingredients
- 2 lbs Yukon Gold potatoes (cut into 1-inch pieces)
- 4 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
- 1 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp black pepper
- 1 tbsp fresh rosemary (minced)
- 1 tbsp fresh thyme (minced)
- 2 cloves garlic (minced)
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Parboil Potatoes: Place the potatoes in a large pot and cover with cold water. Bring to a boil and cook for 8 minutes. Potatoes should be slightly tender.
- Drain and Rough Up: Drain the potatoes well and return them to the pot. Gently shake the pot to rough up the edges of the potatoes. This creates more surface area for crispiness.
- Season Potatoes: In a large bowl, toss the potatoes with olive oil, salt, pepper, rosemary, thyme, and minced garlic. Ensure potatoes are evenly coated.
- Arrange on Baking Sheet: Spread the potatoes in a single layer on a baking sheet. Avoid overcrowding.
- Roast: Roast in the preheated oven for 30 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden brown and crispy.
- Check for Doneness: A fork should easily pierce through the center of a potato when they are done.
- Rest (Optional): Let the potatoes rest for a couple of minutes before serving. This allows them to crisp up even more.
- Serve: Serve hot and enjoy!
Notes
- Substitution for Herbs: If you don’t have fresh herbs, use 1 teaspoon of dried rosemary and 1 teaspoon of dried thyme.
- Make-Ahead: Parboil and rough up the potatoes ahead of time and store them in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours before roasting.
- Storage: Store leftover roasted potatoes in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
- Reheating: Reheat in the oven at 350°F (175°C) for 10-15 minutes or in an air fryer at 375°F (190°C) for 5-7 minutes until warmed through and crispy.
- Serving Suggestions: Serve as a side dish with grilled chicken, steak, or fish. Garnish with additional fresh herbs or a sprinkle of Parmesan cheese.
- Potato Variation: While Yukon Golds are preferred, you can also use red potatoes although their skin won’t get as crispy.
