🥔 Roasted Potatoes
Crispy on the outside, tender on the inside, roasted potatoes are a simple and versatile side dish that pairs with almost any meal.
🛒 Ingredients (Serves 4)
- 2 lbs potatoes (Yukon Gold or red potatoes work best)
- 3 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tsp salt
- ½ tsp black pepper
- 1 tsp garlic powder or 3 cloves fresh garlic, minced
- 1 tsp dried rosemary, thyme, or parsley (optional)
🔪 Preparation
- Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C).
- Wash and cut potatoes into 1–2 inch chunks (leave skin on for extra crispiness).
- Toss potatoes in olive oil, salt, pepper, garlic, and herbs.
- Spread evenly on a baking sheet in a single layer.
🍳 Roasting
- Roast 25–35 minutes, flipping once halfway through, until golden brown and crisp on edges.
- Check tenderness by piercing with a fork — should be soft inside.
🌟 Tips
- For extra crunch, parboil potatoes for 5 minutes before roasting.
- Use a heavy baking sheet or cast-iron pan for more even browning.
- Fresh herbs can be added after roasting for more aroma.
🍽 Serving Ideas
- As a side with roast chicken, steak, or fish
- Toss with Parmesan cheese and parsley for a flavorful twist
- Serve with sour cream or aioli for dipping
