Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 pounds Yukon Gold or red potatoes, washed and cut into 1-inch chunks
  • 3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons fresh rosemary, finely chopped
  • 2 tablespoons fresh thyme leaves
  • 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • Β½ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • Β½ teaspoon smoked paprika (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 425Β°F (220Β°C).
  2. Wash and cut 2 pounds of Yukon Gold or red potatoes into roughly 1-inch chunks, keeping pieces uniform.
  3. Optional: Parboil potatoes in boiling salted water for 5 minutes, then drain and let steam dry for 1-2 minutes.
  4. In a large bowl, toss potatoes with 3 tablespoons olive oil, 2 tablespoons rosemary, 2 tablespoons thyme, 3 minced garlic cloves, salt, black pepper, and smoked paprika if using.
  5. Spread potatoes in a single layer on a rimmed baking sheet, leaving space between pieces.
  6. Roast for 25-30 minutes, flipping halfway through with a spatula or tongs, until golden and crispy outside and tender inside.
  7. Sprinkle 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley over the potatoes once out of the oven.
  8. Serve immediately while hot and crispy.

Notes

Parboiling the potatoes before roasting helps achieve a fluffy interior and crispy exterior. Dry potatoes thoroughly after boiling to avoid soggy edges. Avoid overcrowding the pan to prevent steaming. Flipping potatoes halfway through roasting ensures even browning. For extra crispiness, line the baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat. You can also toss potatoes with a little cornstarch before roasting for extra crunch.
