Ingredients

• 2 pounds Yukon Gold potatoes
• 4 large Garlic cloves
• 3 tablespoons Extra virgin olive oil
• 1 teaspoon Dried oregano
• 1 teaspoon Dried basil
• 0.5 teaspoon Dried thyme
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.

Step 2

Scrub the Yukon Gold potatoes clean under cold water, then pat dry. Cut them into uniform 1-inch cubes to ensure even roasting.

Step 3

Peel and mince the large garlic cloves finely, or use a garlic press for convenience.

Step 4

In a large mixing bowl, combine the cubed potatoes with the minced garlic, extra virgin olive oil, dried oregano, dried basil, dried thyme, salt, and black pepper.

Step 5

Toss the potatoes thoroughly to ensure each piece is evenly coated with the seasoning and oil.

Step 6

Spread the potatoes in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring they are not overcrowded. Overcrowding may prevent proper caramelization.

Step 7

Roast the potatoes in the preheated oven for 40 minutes, flipping them halfway through cooking to ensure all sides turn golden and crispy.

Step 8

Once roasted to perfection, remove the potatoes from the oven and transfer them to a serving dish.

Step 9

Finely chop the fresh parsley and sprinkle it over the warm roasted potatoes for a burst of freshness and color.

Step 10

Serve immediately as a side dish to complement your favorite main courses, such as roasted chicken, steak, or grilled vegetables.
