Ingredients

Scale

Potatoes

2 lbs new red potatoes

Herb Mixture

6 fresh garlic cloves, minced or pressed
3 tablespoons chopped fresh oregano
3 tablespoons chopped fresh rosemary
3 tablespoons olive oil or avocado oil
¼ teaspoon pepper, or to taste
½ teaspoon sea salt, or to taste

Garnish

2 tablespoons chopped fresh chives
2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
Sea salt flakes, to sprinkle before serving

Instructions

Preheat and prepare: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a large baking tray with parchment paper. Thoroughly wash and scrub the new red potatoes to remove any dirt, then pat them dry with paper towels or let them air dry completely.
Chop the potatoes: Using a sharp knife, carefully cut the potatoes into bite-sized cubes, leaving the skins on for added texture and flavor. Transfer the cubed potatoes onto the prepared baking tray.
Make the herb mixture: In a small bowl, whisk together the minced garlic, chopped oregano, chopped rosemary, olive oil (or avocado oil), sea salt, and pepper until well combined.
Toss potatoes with herbs: Pour the herb mixture over the potatoes on the tray and toss thoroughly until each potato cube is evenly coated with the fragrant herb and oil mixture.
Arrange for roasting: Spread the potatoes out in a single layer on the baking sheet making sure they are not overlapping. Giving them enough space helps them roast more evenly and get crispy.
Roast the potatoes: Place the tray in the preheated oven and roast for about 35-45 minutes, flipping the potatoes halfway through the cooking time to ensure even browning and crispiness.
Check and finish: Keep an eye on the potatoes toward the end of roasting and remove them when they have reached your desired level of golden brown and crisp texture.
Garnish and serve: Sprinkle the roasted potatoes with fresh chopped chives, parsley, and a light dusting of sea salt flakes before serving. Serve warm and enjoy your crispy garlic herb roasted potatoes!

Notes

For extra crispiness, avoid overcrowding the baking sheet; use two trays if necessary.
You can substitute fresh herbs with dried herbs (use about 1 tablespoon each), but fresh herbs provide the best flavor.
Adjust salt and pepper to your taste preference.
This dish pairs wonderfully with meats, fish, or as part of a vegetarian meal.
If you want to make this dish vegan, ensure the oil you choose is plant-based (olive or avocado oil as suggested).
