Ingredients

Scale

Ingredients

  • 1.5 pounds potatoes, peeled and cut into chunks
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon mixed fresh herbs (such as rosemary, thyme, and parsley), chopped
  • Salt, to taste
  • Freshly ground black pepper, to taste

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) to ensure it is hot enough for roasting the potatoes to crisp perfection.
  2. Prepare Potatoes: Peel the potatoes and cut them into evenly sized chunks to ensure uniform cooking and browning.
  3. Toss with Oil and Herbs: In a large bowl, toss the potato chunks with olive oil, chopped fresh herbs, salt, and pepper until all pieces are well coated.
  4. Arrange on Baking Tray: Spread the potatoes out in a single layer on a baking tray lined with parchment paper or lightly greased to prevent sticking.
  5. Roast: Place the tray in the preheated oven and roast the potatoes for 35-45 minutes, turning them halfway through cooking to promote even crisping and golden color.
  6. Check for Crispiness: When the potatoes are golden brown and crispy on the outside and tender inside, remove them from the oven.
  7. Serve: Serve hot as a delicious side dish for your favorite main courses.

Notes

  • Using starchy potatoes like Russets or Yukon Gold yields the crispiest results.
  • Feel free to experiment with different herbs such as oregano, sage, or dill for varied flavors.
  • For extra flavor, you can add minced garlic or a sprinkle of parmesan cheese before roasting.
  • Make sure not to overcrowd the pan to allow proper roasting and crispiness.
