Ingredients

Scale

Potatoes and Herbs

  • 3 pounds red potatoes, halved
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme
  • ½ teaspoon dried oregano
  • ½ teaspoon dried basil
  • 2 tablespoons chopped parsley leaves

Other Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 5 cloves garlic, minced
  • ⅓ cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
  • Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven: Preheat your oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit and lightly oil a baking sheet or coat it with nonstick spray to prevent sticking.
  2. Prepare the potatoes: Arrange the halved red potatoes in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Drizzle with olive oil, then add the minced garlic, dried thyme, oregano, basil, and freshly grated Parmesan cheese. Season with kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste. Gently toss everything together to evenly coat the potatoes with the seasonings and oil.
  3. Roast the potatoes: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 25 to 30 minutes, or until the potatoes are golden brown and crisp on the outside, and tender inside.
  4. Add butter and finish: Remove the baking sheet from the oven, then stir the potatoes gently with 2 tablespoons of unsalted butter until it melts and coats the potatoes, enhancing the richness and flavor.
  5. Serve: Serve the roasted potatoes immediately, garnished with the chopped fresh parsley for a bright, fresh finish.

Notes

  • Use red potatoes for their thin skins and creamy texture, which roast beautifully.
  • For extra crispiness, ensure the potatoes are in a single layer and not overcrowded on the baking sheet.
  • You can substitute dried parsley for fresh if needed, but fresh parsley adds a more vibrant flavor.
  • Adjust the amount of garlic according to your taste preference for more or less pungency.
  • This recipe can be easily doubled or halved depending on your serving needs.
