Ingredients
4 Idaho potatoes (medium to large)
6 cloves of garlic (peeled)
3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
Salt to taste
Freshly ground black pepper to taste
1 tablespoon dried rosemary (or fresh, chopped)
1 teaspoon paprika (optional)
Fresh herbs (parsley, thyme) for garnish
Instructions
Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C).
Wash and scrub the Idaho potatoes. Cut them into wedges or cubes.
Peel and prepare garlic cloves. Chop or leave them whole, depending on desired flavor.
In a large bowl, toss the potatoes and garlic with olive oil, salt, pepper, rosemary, and paprika.
Spread the potatoes in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or foil.
Roast for 25–35 minutes, flipping halfway, until golden brown and crispy on the outside.
Test for doneness by inserting a fork into the potatoes. If it slides in easily, they’re done.
Garnish with fresh herbs and serve immediately.
