Ingredients

• 2 pounds Yukon Gold potatoes
• 3 tablespoons Olive oil
• 4 whole Garlic cloves
• 2 sprigs Fresh rosemary
• 2 sprigs Fresh thyme
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 2 tablespoons Parsley (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

Wash and peel the potatoes (optional), then cut them into evenly sized chunks, about 1 to 1.5 inches wide. This ensures even cooking.

Step 3

Place the potato chunks in a large pot filled with cold water. Add a pinch of salt and bring to a boil. Simmer for 5 minutes, then drain well.

Step 4

Transfer the potatoes to a large mixing bowl. Add olive oil, salt, and black pepper. Toss until the potatoes are evenly coated.

Step 5

Spread the potatoes onto the prepared baking sheet in a single layer, ensuring they aren't overcrowded.

Step 6

Crush the garlic cloves lightly with the side of a knife to release their flavor. Add the garlic, rosemary sprigs, and thyme sprigs to the baking sheet, scattering them across the potatoes.

Step 7

Roast in the preheated oven for 40-45 minutes, turning the potatoes halfway through to ensure they crisp up evenly. They should be golden and crispy on the outside and tender on the inside.

Step 8

Once roasted, remove the herbs and garlic. Transfer the potatoes to a serving dish, sprinkle with freshly chopped parsley (if desired), and serve immediately.
