Ingredients
  

  • Potatoes Yukon Gold, red, or Russet – 2 pounds
  • Olive oil – 1/4 cup
  • Minced garlic – 1 tablespoon
  • Fresh herbs rosemary, thyme, parsley – 1 tablespoon each, chopped
  • Salt – 1 teaspoon
  • Black pepper – 1/2 teaspoon
  • Butter – 1 tablespoon

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or aluminum foil.
  • Scrub the potatoes clean and pat them dry. Remove any blemishes or eyes, and peel if desired.
  • Cut the potatoes into uniform cubes, around 1 inch in size.
  • In a large bowl, combine olive oil, minced garlic, chopped fresh herbs, salt, and black pepper. Whisk together.
  • Add the potato cubes to the bowl and coat them evenly with the marinade. Let them marinate for at least 30 minutes.
  • Preheat the baking sheet in the oven for 5 minutes. Remove it and add a tablespoon of butter.
  • Toss the potatoes in the melted butter on the hot baking sheet for extra crispiness.
  • Arrange the potatoes in a single layer on the baking sheet, leaving space between them.
  • Roast the potatoes in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, flipping them once or twice for even browning.
  • Once the potatoes are golden brown and easily pierced with a fork, remove them from the oven.
  • Let the roasted potatoes cool for a few minutes, then garnish with fresh herbs.
  • Serve and enjoy!
