Recipe–Herb Roasted Potatoes

1 Jan

This recipe is very versatile–you can use any type of potato and combination of seasonings you like.  They usually turn out a little different every time I make them.  It just depends on my mood and what’s in my kitchen.

Herb Roasted Potatoes

6 large yukon gold potatoes, cubed

2 Tbsp. olive oil

3 cloves garlic, minced

1 tsp. sea salt

1/2 tsp. ground black pepper

1 tsp. each fresh thyme and rosemary

Preheat oven to 425 degrees.  Combine all ingredients on a sheet pan and toss with hands to distribute oil and spices evenly.  Don’t be tempted to use a smaller pan–if the potatoes are too crowded they will steam instead of roast and they won’t become crisp.  Bake for 30-40 minutes, or until desired crispness.  Serves 4.
