Ingredients
Scale
Potatoes and Seasonings
- 3 pounds red potatoes, halved
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 5 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1/2 teaspoon dried basil
- Kosher salt, to taste
- Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
Cheese and Finishing
- 1/3 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 2 teaspoons unsalted butter
- 2 teaspoons chopped fresh parsley leaves
Instructions
- Preheat and Prepare Baking Sheet: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Prepare a baking sheet by spraying it with non-stick spray or lightly greasing it with oil to prevent sticking.
- Prepare Potatoes: In a bowl, halve the red potatoes if not already done. Add the olive oil, minced garlic, dried thyme, dried oregano, dried basil, and grated Parmesan cheese.
- Season and Toss: Sprinkle kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper according to your taste. Toss all ingredients together until the potatoes are evenly coated with the oil, herbs, garlic, and cheese mixture.
- Arrange on Baking Sheet: Spread the potatoes on the prepared baking sheet in an even layer, placing them with the peel side up to ensure a crisp texture.
- Roast Potatoes: Bake for 25 to 30 minutes in the preheated oven. Flip the potatoes halfway through cooking to ensure they roast evenly and develop a golden brown, crispy exterior.
- Melt Butter for Finishing: While the potatoes are roasting, melt the unsalted butter either in a small pan over the stovetop or in the microwave for about 1 minute.
- Serve: Once roasted, remove the potatoes from the oven, drizzle with melted butter, and sprinkle with chopped fresh parsley leaves. Serve warm as a flavorful side dish.
Notes
- Use red potatoes for a waxy texture that holds shape well during roasting.
- Flipping the potatoes halfway through baking promotes even browning and crispiness.
- Fresh herbs can be swapped with dried, but adjust quantities accordingly as dried herbs are more concentrated.
- Melted butter adds richness, but can be omitted or substituted with olive oil for a lighter option.
- Make sure to space potatoes out on the baking sheet to allow air circulation for maximum crispiness.
