Perfect Roasted Potatoes

Roasted potatoes are a classic dish that can elevate any dinner. This recipe is easy to follow and ensures you get delicious results every time!

Ingredients

2 pounds of baby potatoes (or any small potatoes)
4 tablespoons of olive oil
1 teaspoon of salt
1/2 teaspoon of black pepper
1 teaspoon of garlic powder (optional)
1 teaspoon of fresh rosemary, chopped (optional)
1 teaspoon of fresh thyme, chopped (optional)

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
Start by washing the baby potatoes thoroughly to remove any dirt. If they are larger, you may want to cut them in half or quarters, ensuring they are all about the same size for even cooking.
In a large bowl, toss the potatoes with olive oil, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and any fresh herbs you’re using. Make sure all the potatoes are well-coated with the oil and seasoning.
Spread the potatoes out in a single layer on a baking sheet. It’s important they’re not overcrowded, as this will help them roast instead of steam.
Roast the potatoes in the preheated oven for about 25-30 minutes, turning them halfway through cooking to ensure they get that lovely golden crisp on all sides.
Once they are completely crispy and cooked through, remove them from the oven and let them rest for a few minutes. This allows them to settle and enhances their flavor.
Serve the roasted potatoes warm as a side dish with your favorite protein, and watch them disappear!

These perfect roasted potatoes are not only delicious but they’re also versatile. You can enjoy them with various dips or as a part of your main course. Try them out next time you’re looking for a comforting side dish to brighten your meal!
