🧄 Ingredients
2 pounds small potatoes (Yukon Gold or baby red potatoes work best)
3 tablespoons olive oil
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 teaspoon dried thyme
½ teaspoon salt (or to taste)
½ teaspoon black pepper
Optional: paprika or chili flakes for heat
Optional garnish: fresh parsley, grated parmesan
👩🍳 Instructions
Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C).
Wash the potatoes well and cut them in half (or quarters if larger).
Bring a pot of salted water to a boil and parboil potatoes for 8–10 minutes until just fork-tender.
Drain well and let steam-dry for 5 minutes (this is the secret to crispiness!).
In a bowl, toss potatoes with olive oil, garlic, thyme, salt, and pepper.
Spread potatoes on a baking tray in a single layer, cut side down.
Roast for 30–40 minutes, flipping once, until golden and crispy.
Finish with fresh herbs, parmesan, or extra olive oil.
Serve hot and try not to eat them all straight from the pan 😍
