Step 1: Preheat Your Oven

• Set your oven to 425°F (220°C). Roasting at high heat helps create those deliciously crispy edges while keeping the inside of the potatoes soft and tender.

Step 2: Prepare the Potatoes

• Wash and dry the potatoes. No need to peel—keeping the skin on adds both flavor and texture.
• Cut the potatoes in half, or into 1-inch cubes if you’re using larger potatoes. Aim for similar-sized pieces to ensure even cooking.

Step 3: Mix with Olive Oil and Seasonings

• In a large mixing bowl, combine the olive oil, minced garlic, rosemary, thyme, salt, and pepper.
• Add the potatoes to the bowl and toss well to coat. Make sure each potato is well-covered in oil and seasonings—this is what will give them that lovely golden color and crispy texture.

Step 4: Arrange on the Baking Sheet

• Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or foil for easy cleanup, then spread the potatoes in a single layer. Avoid crowding them, as this will prevent them from crisping up.
• For extra crispiness, you can place the potatoes cut-side down.

Step 5: Roast the Potatoes

• Roast in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes. Halfway through, flip the potatoes to ensure even browning.
• Tip: If you want extra crispy potatoes, broil them for an additional 2-3 minutes at the end of the roasting time, keeping a close eye to prevent burning.

Step 6: Check for Doneness

• The potatoes are done when they’re golden brown, crispy on the outside, and tender when pierced with a fork. If needed, roast for an additional 5 minutes.

Step 7: Serve

• Transfer the roasted potatoes to a serving dish and garnish with fresh parsley or chives, if desired. They’re best enjoyed hot and fresh out of the oven!
