🥔 Roasted Potatoes
Crispy on the outside, soft 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, red, or russet), washed and cut into 1–2 inch pieces
- 3 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tsp salt
- ½ tsp black pepper
- 1 tsp garlic powder or 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tsp dried rosemary, thyme, or parsley (optional)
🔪 Preparation
- Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C).
- Toss potato pieces with olive oil, salt, pepper, garlic, and herbs.
- Spread potatoes in a single layer on a baking sheet.
🍳 Roasting
- Roast 25–35 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden and crisp on edges.
- Check tenderness with a fork; potatoes should be soft inside.
🌟 Tips
- For extra crunch, parboil potatoes for 5 minutes before roasting.
- Use a heavy baking sheet or cast-iron skillet for better browning.
- Fresh herbs can be added after roasting for more aroma.
- For variation, sprinkle Parmesan cheese or smoked paprika before serving.
