Ingredients
  

  • 2 lbs new red potatoes
  • 6 cloves fresh garlic minced or pressed
  • 3 Tbsps fresh oregano chopped
  • 3 Tbsps fresh rosemary chopped
  • 2 Tbsps fresh chives chopped, to garnish
  • 2 Tbsps fresh parsley chopped, to garnish
  • 3 Tbsps olive oil or avocado oil
  • 1/4 tsp pepper or to taste
  • 1/2 tsp sea salt or to taste
  • Sea salt flakes to sprinkle before serving

Method
 

  1. Preheat your oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit and line a large baking tray with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
  2. Thoroughly wash and scrub the potatoes to remove any dirt, then pat them completely dry with paper towels or allow them to air dry.
  3. Using a very sharp knife, carefully chop the potatoes into bite-sized cubes, making sure to keep the skins on for maximum crunch.
  4. Transfer the potato cubes onto the prepared baking tray.
  5. In a small bowl, whisk together the minced garlic, chopped oregano, chopped rosemary, oil, sea salt, and pepper.
    6 cloves fresh garlic, 3 Tbsps fresh oregano, 3 Tbsps fresh rosemary, 3 Tbsps olive oil or avocado oil, 1/4 tsp pepper, 1/2 tsp sea salt
  6. Pour the herb mixture over the potatoes and toss until every piece is very evenly coated.
  7. Arrange the potatoes in a single layer on the sheet pan, ensuring they do not overlap so they can crisp up properly.
  8. Roast in the preheated oven for 35 to 45 minutes, flipping them halfway through the cooking time.
  9. Once they are golden brown and crispy to your liking, remove them from the oven.
  10. Garnish with fresh chopped parsley and chives, and sprinkle with additional sea salt flakes before serving warm.

Notes

Ensure the potatoes are bone-dry before tossing in oil to prevent steaming. Do not crowd the pan to ensure a crispy, golden-brown finish.
