Ingredients
- 5 tbsp olive oil: adds richness and helps achieve crispiness
- 5 cloves garlic, minced: provides deep, aromatic flavor
- 1 tbsp fresh herbs (thyme and rosemary): infuses freshness and earthiness
- 2 tbsp dried Italian herbs: adds balanced, savory notes
- 2 pounds potatoes, cut into ½-inch cubes: the hearty base of the dish
- 1 tsp black pepper powder: adds mild heat
- Salt to taste: enhances the overall flavor
- 1 tsp red chili flakes: optional, for a spicy kick
- 1 tbsp fresh coriander leaves, chopped: for garnish and freshness
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking tray with parchment paper or lightly oil it.
- In a small pan, heat olive oil and add minced garlic, fresh herbs, and dried Italian herbs. Sauté until the garlic is lightly browned and aromatic.
- Place the cubed potatoes in a large mixing bowl. Strain the infused oil into the bowl and discard any burnt garlic bits.
- Add black pepper, salt, and red chili flakes. Toss until the potatoes are evenly coated with the seasoning.
- Spread the potatoes evenly on the prepared baking tray, ensuring they don’t overlap.
- Bake for 40 minutes, tossing halfway through to ensure even roasting and crispiness.
- Once golden brown, remove from the oven and garnish with freshly chopped coriander leaves. Serve hot and enjoy!
Notes
- For extra-crispy potatoes, parboil for 8–10 minutes before baking.
- Don’t overcrowd the tray—space helps achieve even crispiness.
- Use Yukon Gold or Russet potatoes for best texture and flavor.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days and reheat in the oven or air fryer.
- Use a cast iron skillet for a crispier, restaurant-style finish.
