Equipment

  • Baking sheet
  • Mixing bowl
  • Cutting board
  • Sharp knife
  • Measuring cups and spoons

Ingredients
  

  • 2 pounds red potatoes washed and quartered
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil
  • 3 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 teaspoon dried rosemary or thyme or both
  • ½ teaspoon paprika optional, for color
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • Fresh parsley chopped (optional, for garnish)

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the Oven:
  • Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
  • Prepare the Potatoes:
  • Cut the red potatoes into evenly sized quarters to ensure even cooking.
  • Season the Potatoes:
  • In a large mixing bowl, combine the potatoes, olive oil, garlic, rosemary or thyme, paprika (if using), salt, and pepper. Toss until the potatoes are well coated.
  • Arrange on the Baking Sheet:
  • Spread the potatoes in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Make sure they are not overcrowded to promote even roasting.
  • Roast the Potatoes:
  • Roast in the preheated oven for 25–30 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the potatoes are golden brown and crispy on the edges.
  • Garnish and Serve:
  • Remove from the oven and sprinkle with fresh parsley if desired. Serve warm.
