Potatoes with fresh herbs is a simple yet flavorful side dish that's perfect for any meal. Using just a few ingredients, you can whip up a dish that's both aromatic and delicious. The combination of potatoes, fresh parsley, and garlic creates a savory and delightful medley that complements any main course.
Instructions:
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Wash and peel (if desired) the potatoes. Cut them into evenly sized chunks, about 1 inch in size.
- Place the potato chunks in a large mixing bowl.
- In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, fresh parsley, dried oregano, and minced garlic.
- Pour the herb mixture over the potato chunks in the mixing bowl.
- Toss the potatoes well to ensure they are evenly coated with the herb mixture.
- Spread the seasoned potato chunks in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
- Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven.
- Roast the potatoes in the oven for about 30-40 minutes, or until they are golden brown and crispy on the outside and tender on the inside.
- Halfway through cooking, stir the potatoes to ensure even roasting.
- Once the potatoes are done, remove them from the oven.
- Allow them to cool for a few minutes before serving.
- Optionally, garnish with a bit more fresh parsley or a light sprinkling of dried oregano.
Tips:
- Choose the right potatoes: For this recipe, starchy potatoes like Russets or Yukon Golds work best as they hold their shape well and have a fluffy interior when cooked.
- Cut potatoes evenly: Ensure that the potatoes are cut into even pieces to guarantee they cook uniformly.
- Preheat the oven: Make sure your oven is fully preheated to the recommended temperature to achieve that perfect crispy exterior on your potatoes.
- Use fresh herbs: Fresh parsley adds a bright flavor that dried herbs can't quite replicate – aim for fresh over dried whenever possible.
- Don't overdo the garlic: Garlic can become bitter if overcooked, so watch carefully to avoid burning it.
- Season generously: Potatoes need a good amount of seasoning to enhance their natural flavor. Don't be shy with the salt and pepper.
With these easy steps, you can create a delicious dish of potatoes with fresh herbs that will impress your family and friends. The fresh parsley and garlic bring out the natural flavors of the potatoes, making this recipe a favorite go-to for any occasion. Enjoy this delightful side dish that's both comforting and satisfying.
