Ingredients
  • 2 lbs Potatoes (Yukon Gold or Russet)
  • 1/4 cup Olive Oil
  • 2 tbsp Fresh Rosemary
  • 2 tbsp Fresh Thyme
  • 3 cloves Garlic
  • 1 tsp Salt
  • 1/2 tsp Black Pepper

Preparation

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). While the oven is heating, wash and scrub the potatoes thoroughly. You can peel them if desired, but leaving the skin on adds texture and nutrients. Cut the potatoes into roughly 1-inch cubes, ensuring they are relatively uniform in size for even cooking.

Herb Infusion

In a large bowl, combine the olive oil, chopped rosemary, chopped thyme, minced garlic, salt, and pepper. Whisk together until well combined. This herb-infused oil will coat the potatoes and provide a burst of flavor during roasting.

Coating the Potatoes

Add the cubed potatoes to the bowl with the herb mixture. Toss thoroughly to ensure that each potato piece is evenly coated with the oil and herbs. Spread the potatoes in a single layer on a baking sheet. Use parchment paper for easier cleanup and to prevent sticking.

Roasting

Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and roast for 40-45 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender on the inside and golden brown and crispy on the outside. Halfway through the cooking time, flip the potatoes to ensure even browning on all sides. Check for doneness by piercing a potato with a fork; it should be easily pierced with little resistance.

Serving

Once the potatoes are roasted to perfection, remove them from the oven and let them cool slightly before serving. Garnish with additional fresh herbs, if desired. Serve immediately alongside your favorite beef dish, such as a steak, roast, or brisket.
