Main Dish

Steps

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Wash and dice the potatoes into 1-inch cubes.
In a bowl, toss the potatoes with olive oil, minced garlic, rosemary, thyme, salt, and pepper.
Spread the potatoes evenly on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Roast in the oven for 30-35 minutes, turning halfway through, until golden and crispy.
Remove from oven and garnish with fresh parsley before serving.

Tips for Herbed Garlic Roasted Potatoes

For the most even browning, leave a little space between the potato pieces; crowded pieces tend to soften rather than crisp.
The potatoes are ready when the edges are deeply golden and a fork slides easily into the centers.
Chop the potatoes to similar sizes so smaller pieces do not overbrown before larger ones turn tender.

Drink pairing

A dry, crisp cider
Its bright fruitiness complements the savory herbs and balances the potatoes' crisp, olive-oil-coated edges.

Storage

Refrigerate leftovers within 2 hours in a covered container and use within 3–4 days. Reheat until steaming hot; the potatoes may be less crisp after storage.

Frequently asked questions

How can I tell when the potatoes are done?

Look for golden, crisp edges and tender centers that yield easily to a fork.

Can I prepare the potatoes ahead?

For the best texture, roast them shortly before serving. You can chop the potatoes ahead and keep them covered in cold water in the refrigerator; drain and dry them well before cooking.
