🕰️ A Little History

Simple roasted potatoes have been a staple in kitchens around the world for centuries. From European farmhouse meals to modern family dinners, roasting potatoes with olive oil, herbs, and garlic has always been a trusted way to turn humble ingredients into something unforgettable. This recipe follows that tradition—simple, rustic, and full of comfort.

🧾 Ingredients

2 pounds small potatoes (Yukon Gold or baby red potatoes)
3 tablespoons olive oil
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 teaspoon dried thyme
Salt, to taste
Black pepper, to taste

(Optional but loved: fresh parsley or grated Parmesan for finishing)

🥣 Instructions

Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C).
Wash and dry the potatoes. If large, cut them in half for even cooking.
In a large bowl, toss potatoes with olive oil, garlic, thyme, salt, and pepper until well coated.
Spread potatoes in a single layer on a baking sheet, cut side down.
Roast for 35–40 minutes, flipping once halfway through.
Remove when golden, crispy, and fork-tender.
Garnish if desired and serve hot.

🔄 Methods & Texture Formation

High-Heat Roasting: Creates that irresistible crispy crust
