Ingredients
Scale
Potatoes
- 2 pounds russet potatoes, peeled and cut into 1-inch cubes
Seasoning
- 1/4 cup olive oil
- 2 tablespoons minced garlic
- 1 tablespoon dried oregano
- 1 tablespoon dried basil
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) to ensure it’s hot enough to roast the potatoes to a golden brown crisp.
- Prepare Potatoes and Seasoning: In a large bowl, combine the peeled and cubed potatoes with olive oil, minced garlic, dried oregano, dried basil, salt, and black pepper. Toss thoroughly to ensure each potato cube is evenly coated with the flavorful mixture.
- Arrange on Baking Sheet: Spread the seasoned potatoes evenly on a baking sheet in a single layer. This allows them to roast evenly and become crispy.
- Roast Potatoes: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and roast for 25-30 minutes. Check periodically to make sure the potatoes are golden brown and tender when pierced with a fork.
- Serve: Remove from oven and serve hot. These roasted potatoes make a delicious accompaniment to any meal.
Notes
- For extra crispiness, flip the potatoes halfway through roasting.
- You can substitute dried herbs with fresh ones, but reduce quantities by half.
- To add a spicy kick, sprinkle some paprika or red pepper flakes before roasting.
- Ensure potatoes are cut into uniform sizes for even cooking.
- Use parchment paper on the baking sheet for easier cleanup.
