Ingredients
- 1 lb small potatoes (or baby potatoes)
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 3 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1/2 teaspoon dried rosemary
- 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)
- Grated Parmesan cheese (optional)
- Chopped fresh parsley (for garnish)
Preparation Method Step by Step
Step 1: Prepare the potatoes
Preheat the oven to 200°C.
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or aluminum foil.
Wash the potatoes well and cut them in half or quarters so that they cook evenly.
Step 2: Season the potatoes
In a large bowl, whisk together the olive oil, minced garlic, salt, black pepper, oregano, thyme, rosemary, paprika, and red pepper flakes.
Add the potatoes to the bowl and toss to coat until they are completely coated with the seasoning.
Step 3: Roast the potatoes
Place potatoes in a single layer on baking sheet.
Bake for 35-40 minutes, turning them halfway through, until they are golden brown and crispy.
Step 4: Finishing Touches
If desired, sprinkle grated Parmesan cheese over warm potatoes.
Garnish with chopped fresh parsley before serving.
