Homemade potato recipe

Step 1: Preheat the Oven

• Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

Step 2: Prepare the Potatoes

1. Wash and peel the potatoes (optional). You can leave the skin on for extra texture and nutrients. Cut the potatoes into bite-sized cubes or wedges, ensuring they are roughly the same size for even cooking.

Step 3: Season the Potatoes

1. In a large bowl, toss the potatoes with olive oil, minced garlic, rosemary, thyme, paprika, salt, and pepper. Make sure each potato piece is well-coated with the seasoning mix.

Step 4: Roast the Potatoes

1. Spread the potatoes in a single layer on a baking sheet, ensuring they are not overcrowded. This will allow them to roast evenly and get crispy.
2. Roast for 25-30 minutes, turning them halfway through with a spatula, until the potatoes are golden and crispy on the edges and fork-tender inside. You can adjust the cooking time depending on how crispy you want them.

Step 5: Garnish and Serve

1. Once the potatoes are done, remove them from the oven and sprinkle with chopped fresh parsley and optional Parmesan cheese.
2. Serve hot as a side dish with your favorite main course.

Tips:

• For extra crispy potatoes, you can preheat the baking sheet in the oven while it’s warming up, then place the seasoned potatoes onto the hot sheet.
• You can experiment with different herbs like oregano or basil, depending on your preference.
• For a bit of spice, add a pinch of red pepper flakes along with the other seasonings.
