Ingredients
Scale
Potatoes
- 4 medium potatoes
Seasonings & Herbs
- 2 teaspoons sea salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon fresh rosemary
- 1 tablespoon fresh thyme
Oils
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) to prepare for roasting the potatoes evenly.
- Wash Potatoes: Wash the potatoes thoroughly under cold running water to remove any dirt and impurities.
- Dry Potatoes: Pat the potatoes dry with a clean kitchen towel or paper towels to remove moisture for crispiness.
- Chop Potatoes: Cut each potato into small, evenly sized cubes, about 1 to 1.5 inches in diameter for uniform cooking.
- Mix Ingredients: Place the chopped potatoes into a large mixing bowl, drizzle with olive oil, then add sea salt and black pepper. Stir to coat evenly.
- Add Herbs: Roughly chop the fresh rosemary and thyme, discarding tough stems, and add to the potatoes. Mix again to combine well.
- Prepare Baking Sheet: Spread the seasoned potatoes evenly in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat to prevent sticking.
- Roast Potatoes: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and roast for 25-30 minutes, turning the potatoes with a spatula or tongs after 15 minutes to ensure even browning.
- Check for Doneness: Continue roasting until the potatoes are golden brown and crisp on the edges.
- Serve: Remove from the oven and allow to cool slightly for a couple of minutes, then serve immediately to enjoy the crispy, herb-seasoned potatoes.
Notes
- For extra crispiness, soak chopped potatoes in cold water for 30 minutes prior to cooking, then dry thoroughly before seasoning.
- You can substitute fresh herbs with dried herbs if fresh are unavailable; use about 1 teaspoon each of dried rosemary and thyme.
- Adjust sea salt to taste depending on preference and dietary needs.
- Using a silicone baking mat or parchment paper helps prevent potatoes from sticking and makes cleanup easier.
- Turning the potatoes halfway through roasting ensures even cooking and browning on all sides.
