Ingredients
Instructions
Wash and peel the potatoes if desired, then cut into uniform chunks about 1 to 1.5 inches to ensure even cooking and crispness.
Bring a pot of salted water to a boil and simmer the potatoes for 5–7 minutes until slightly tender but still firm inside. This ensures a fluffy texture once roasted.
Drain the potatoes thoroughly and gently shake them in the colander to roughen their edges, which helps develop a crispy crust when roasting.
Transfer potatoes to a bowl. Drizzle with olive oil, then sprinkle with salt, pepper, garlic (if using), and herbs. Toss well to coat evenly.
Spread potatoes in a single layer on a baking sheet. Roast at 425°F (220°C) for 30–40 minutes, flipping halfway through to promote even golden browning.
Once crispy on the outside and tender inside, remove from oven and serve immediately as a versatile side dish.
