How to Make the Best Garlic Roast Potatoes

Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
Wash and dice the potatoes into even-sized chunks.
In a large bowl, toss the potatoes with olive oil, minced garlic, dried rosemary, dried thyme, salt, and pepper until evenly coated.
Spread the potatoes in a single layer on a baking sheet.
Roast in the preheated oven for about 25-30 minutes, or until crisp and golden brown, stirring occasionally. This is what gives it that golden crust.
Serve hot as a delicious side dish for breakfast. You’ll know it’s ready when the edges are beautifully crisp and golden.

How to Serve

Serve your Garlic Roast Potatoes alongside roasted chicken or grilled vegetables for a complete meal. You can even sprinkle fresh herbs on top for a beautiful presentation. This one is sure to please both kids and adults!

How to Store

For storage, keep leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days. To freeze, spread the cooled potatoes in a single layer on a baking sheet, freeze until solid, then transfer to a freezer-safe bag. When you’re ready to enjoy, reheat in the oven for the best results.

Pro Tips for the Perfect Result

Cut the potatoes all the same size for even cooking.
Don’t overcrowd the baking sheet; this helps them get crispy.
Experiment with different herbs for a unique twist.
Toss halfway through cooking for an even roast.
Add Parmesan cheese on top in the last few minutes for an extra flavor boost.

Easy Variations to Try

Swap out the potatoes for sweet potatoes for a healthier twist.
Add a pinch of cayenne pepper for a spicy kick.
Try fresh garlic instead of minced for a bolder flavor.
