Instructions:
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Wash and scrub the potatoes thoroughly to remove any dirt.
- Peel the potatoes if you prefer, though leaving the skin on can add extra texture and flavor.
- Cut the potatoes into even-sized chunks, approximately 1-2 inches in diameter for even cooking.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the olive oil, salt, chopped rosemary, dried oregano, and black pepper. Stir well to mix all the ingredients.
- Add the potato chunks to the bowl and toss them thoroughly, ensuring each piece is well-coated with the oil and herb mixture.
- Arrange the seasoned potato chunks in a single layer on a large baking sheet or roasting pan. Ensure they are spread out evenly to promote even roasting and avoid overcrowding.
- Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven.
- Roast the potatoes for about 45-50 minutes, or until they are golden brown and crispy on the outside and tender on the inside.
- Halfway through the cooking time, about 25 minutes in, use a spatula to turn the potatoes to ensure even roasting on all sides.
- Insert a fork into a potato chunk; it should be very easy to pierce.
- If the potatoes are not yet done, roast for an additional 5-10 minutes, checking periodically.
- Once the potatoes are roasted to your satisfaction, remove them from the oven.
- Optionally, you can add an extra sprinkle of sea salt or a few fresh rosemary sprigs on top for garnish.
- Serve the roasted potatoes hot as a delightful side dish for any meal.
Tips:
- Choose potatoes that are similar in size to ensure even cooking.
- Parboil the potatoes for 5-10 minutes before roasting to achieve an extra crispy texture.
- Toss the potatoes in the olive oil mixture thoroughly to ensure they are evenly coated.
- Spread the potatoes in a single layer on the baking tray to avoid overcrowding.
- Turn the potatoes halfway through the roasting time to ensure they brown evenly on all sides.
