Roasted Garlic Idaho Potatoes Recipe
Ingredients:
- 4-6 medium Idaho potatoes, washed and cut into cubes or wedges
- 6-8 garlic cloves, minced or smashed
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon dried rosemary (optional)
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme (optional)
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Fresh parsley or chives for garnish (optional)
Instructions:
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Prepare Potatoes: Cut your Idaho potatoes into cubes or wedges. Try to keep the pieces uniform in size so they cook evenly.
- Garlic and Oil: In a bowl, combine the olive oil, minced garlic (or smashed garlic if you prefer a more subtle garlic flavor), rosemary, thyme, salt, and pepper. Stir it together until the garlic is well coated with the oil.
- Toss Potatoes: Add the cut potatoes to the bowl with the garlic mixture and toss them until the potatoes are evenly coated with the oil and seasonings.
- Roast: Spread the potatoes out in a single layer on a baking sheet. For crispier edges, line the sheet with parchment paper. Roast for 30-40 minutes, flipping once halfway through, until the potatoes are golden brown and tender inside.
- Garnish and Serve: Once the potatoes are done, remove them from the oven and garnish with fresh parsley or chives, if desired. Serve hot and enjoy the crispy, garlicky goodness!
These roasted garlic Idaho potatoes are perfect as a side dish with meat, fish, or even a vegetarian meal. The garlic flavor really makes them stand out, and the texture is so satisfying. Enjoy!
