Ingredients
- 2 lbs potatoes thin skinned such as Yukon Gold or red potatoes
- 4-6 cloves garlic minced
- ¼ cup olive oil
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon ground balck pepper
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder optional
- 1 tablespoon corn starch optional, for extra crispy skin
- fresh herbs finely chopped, to taste (such as rosemary, oregano, chives, parsley)
Instructions
- Clean and cut the potatoes. Aim for uniform bite-sized pieces.
- Place in a bowl and top with cold water. Let soak completely submerged for 30-60 mins or up to overnight (in fridge).*
- When ready to roast, turn on the oven to 400 F.**
- Rinse the potatoes and pat dry with clean kitchen towel.
- Mince garlic, mix with olive oil and nicely coat the dried potatoes.
- Mix salt and pepper, garlic powder (if using), dried oregano and corn starch (if using) and sprinkle over the potatoes. Mix well to ensure they are nicely coated.
- Transfer to a parchment paper lined roasting pan or baking sheet that is just large enough so that the potatoes are not crowded.
- Roast for about 55 mins and be sure to turn them around about half way through so they can get crispy on all sides. If they are browning too fast, lower the oven temp slightly ***
- Finely chop the fresh herbs. When done roasting let the potatoes sit for a couple of minutes before combining them with the herbs and serving.

Notes
*Optional step. Soaking in cold water helps get rid of excess starch and prevents the potatoes from sticking together while they roast.
**If your oven is too strong consider 375 F.
***You want the potatoes to be cooked through and the garlic not to burn.
