Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 2 pounds firm, waxy red potatoes, scrubbed and cut into evenly sized chunks
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil
  • 3 garlic cloves, minced
  • 2 tablespoons fresh rosemary or thyme, chopped
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon paprika (optional)

Instructions

  1. Prep Your Potatoes: Start by scrubbing the red potatoes clean under cold water, then cut them into evenly sized chunks to ensure uniform cooking. Leaving the skin on gives extra texture and flavor.
  2. Season and Toss: Place the potato pieces in a large bowl and drizzle with good-quality olive oil. Add minced garlic, fresh herbs, salt, pepper, and paprika if using. Toss everything until all pieces are well coated to maximize flavor and crispiness.
  3. Arrange on Baking Sheet: Spread the potatoes in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or a silicone mat. Avoid crowding them to allow hot air circulation, which helps achieve perfect crispiness.
  4. Roast to Perfection: Place the baking sheet in a preheated oven at 425°F (220°C) and roast for 25 to 30 minutes. Halfway through, flip or shake the potatoes gently to promote even browning. Watch closely towards the end to get a perfect golden color without burning.
  5. Serve Hot and Enjoy: Once the potatoes are roasted crisp and golden, remove from the oven and let cool slightly before serving. Best served fresh, but leftovers can be stored properly for later enjoyment.

Notes

  • Use room temperature potatoes by taking them out of the fridge before roasting to help cook evenly.
  • Don’t skip the olive oil—it’s essential for achieving crispiness.
  • Cut potatoes into uniform sizes to ensure even cooking.
  • Roast at a high temperature (425°F / 220°C) to develop a crispy crust without drying out the interior.
  • Turn potatoes halfway through the roasting process to get an even golden crust.
