Crispy American Roasted Potatoes with Garlic and Herbs

Ingredients

• 1.5 lbs (700g) baby potatoes or russet potatoes, cut into chunks
• 2 tbsp olive oil
• 3 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 tsp salt
• 1/2 tsp black pepper
• 1 tsp dried rosemary or thyme
• 1/2 tsp smoked paprika (optional)
• Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or foil.

2. In a large bowl, toss potato chunks with olive oil, garlic, salt, pepper, rosemary, and paprika until well coated.

3. Spread potatoes in a single layer on the baking sheet, cut side down for extra crispness.

4. Roast for 35–40 minutes, flipping once halfway through, until golden brown and crispy on the outside, tender inside.

5. Garnish with fresh parsley and serve hot as a side to grilled meats, eggs, or salads.

Notes

• For extra crispiness, parboil potatoes for 5 minutes before roasting
• Use Yukon Gold for a buttery flavor, or sweet potatoes for a twist
• Great with dipping sauces like ranch, ketchup, or aioli
• Can be reheated in the oven or air fryer for best texture
