Ingredients

• 800 grams potatoes
• 60 milliliters olive oil
• 3 cloves garlic
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 teaspoon dried oregano
• 1 teaspoon dried rosemary
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley

Directions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 200°C (400°F).

Step 2

Wash and peel the potatoes, then cut them into bite-sized cubes about 2-3 cm.

Step 3

Place the potatoes in a large bowl. Add the olive oil, minced garlic, salt, black pepper, dried oregano, and dried rosemary. Mix everything until the potatoes are evenly coated.

Step 4

Spread the seasoned potatoes in a single layer on a large baking sheet. Ensure there is space around each potato piece for even roasting.

Step 5

Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and roast for about 20 minutes. After 20 minutes, remove the baking sheet and use a spatula to turn the potatoes. This helps them to roast evenly.

Step 6

Return the potatoes to the oven and roast for another 20 minutes or until they are golden brown and crispy on the outside and tender on the inside.

Step 7

Remove the potatoes from the oven and transfer them to a serving bowl.

Step 8

Garnish with fresh chopped parsley before serving.
