Primary Ingredients:
- 6 medium russet potatoes
Primary Seasonings:
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon rosemary
- 1/2 teaspoons fresh parsley, finely chopped
Cooking Fat:
- 3 tablespoons (44 milliliters) olive oil
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to a sizzling 425°F, ensuring a hot environment for perfect roasting.
- Meticulously slice potatoes into uniform 1½-inch cubes, maintaining consistent sizing for even cooking.
- In a spacious mixing bowl, lavishly coat potato chunks with fragrant olive oil, aromatic rosemary, and a generous pinch of salt and pepper.
- Transfer the herb-infused potato pieces onto a well-greased baking sheet, arranging them in a single layer to promote optimal caramelization.
- Slide the baking sheet into the preheated oven and roast for 30-35 minutes, creating a golden-brown exterior and tender interior.
- Midway through cooking, carefully rotate the potatoes to ensure uniform browning and crisp edges.
- Once potatoes reach a perfect golden hue and fork-tender texture, remove from the oven.
- Garnish with freshly chopped parsley, adding a vibrant burst of color and herbaceous freshness just before serving.
Notes
- Choose waxy potatoes like Yukon Gold or red potatoes for the best roasted texture and crispy exterior.
- Ensure potato pieces are similar in size for even cooking and consistent crispiness throughout the dish.
- Pat potatoes completely dry before seasoning to help achieve maximum golden-brown crunchiness when roasting.
- Try different herb combinations like thyme, oregano, or sage to customize the flavor profile and keep the dish exciting.
