Instructions
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
- Prepare the Potatoes:
- Scrub the potatoes clean and pat them dry.
- Using a fork, pierce each potato a few times to allow steam to escape during baking.
- Slice each potato in half lengthwise, then cut each half into 3 or 4 wedges.
- Season the Potatoes:
- In a large mixing bowl, combine olive oil, minced garlic, rosemary, thyme, salt, and pepper. Mix well.
- Add the potato wedges to the bowl and toss them until they are well coated with the herb mixture.
- Bake the Potatoes:
- Place the seasoned potato wedges on the prepared baking sheet in a single layer, ensuring they are not touching each other.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 25 minutes. Then, flip the wedges and continue baking for another 25-30 minutes, or until they are golden brown and crispy on the outside and tender inside.
- Garnish and Serve:
- Remove the potatoes from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes.
- Transfer to a serving dish, and sprinkle with chopped parsley and Parmesan cheese, if using.
- Serve hot as a delicious side dish or a satisfying snack.
Tips
- Flavor Variations: Experiment with different herbs like oregano, basil, or chives to create unique flavor combinations.
- Cheese Lovers: For a cheesy twist, sprinkle shredded cheddar or mozzarella over the potatoes during the last 5 minutes of baking.
- Crispier Potatoes: For extra crispiness, increase the oven temperature to 425°F (220°C) and bake for an additional 5-10 minutes.
