Ingredients
- 2 lbs red potatoes, cut into bite-sized chunks
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1 teaspoon dried parsley
- ½ teaspoon paprika
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon salt (or to taste)
- Optional: ¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese
- Optional garnish: fresh parsley
Instructions
Step 1: Preheat the Oven
Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Step 2: Season the Potatoes
In a large bowl, toss the red potatoes with olive oil, garlic, oregano, thyme, parsley, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Mix until evenly coated.
Step 3: Arrange for Crispiness
Spread the potatoes in a single layer on the baking sheet. Make sure they are not overcrowded — this helps them crisp up.
Step 4: Roast
Bake for 35–45 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden brown and crispy on the outside.
Step 5: Finish & Serve
Sprinkle with Parmesan cheese (if using) and fresh parsley. Serve warm.
Tips for Extra Crispy Potatoes
