Equipment
- Baking Tray
Ingredients
- 1 kilo baking potatoes or any 'Floury' variety of potatoes such as King Edwards or Maris Piper.
- 4 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons rosemary roughly chopped
- 2 tablespoons fresh thyme roughly chopped
- ½ teaspoon Garlic Powder or Garlic Granules to taste
- Sea salt or table salt, to taste
- Ground Black Pepper to taste
Instructions
- Pre-heat the oven to 200°C. Have ready a large roasting or baking tray drizzled with Olive oil if you wish.
- Wash and peel the potatoes, although you can leave the skins on if you wish. Cut each potato into roughly the same size chunks. This will quicken up the roasting time.1 kilo baking potatoes
- Remove the needles from the sprigs of Rosemary and roughly chop them. If your sprigs of Thyme are old and woody, remove the leaves from the stems and mix them with the chopped Rosemary. Alternatively use mixed dried Herbs.2 tablespoons rosemary, 2 tablespoons fresh thyme
- Place the chopped potatoes into a bowl, add the chopped herbs, garlic powder, Olive Oil, and season with salt and pepper. Give everything a good mix ensuring all the potatoes are well coated in herbs and oil.4 tablespoons olive oil, ½ teaspoon Garlic Powder, Sea salt, Ground Black Pepper
- Place all the herb coated potatoes on the prepared roasting tray and bake for 35 - 45 minutes. For a lovely golden even colour, turn the potatoes about halfway through cooking time. This is a good time to do a taste test and top up on any additional spices you may have added.
- Take out of the oven and serve straight away as a side dish, a snack, a filling for Omelettes, or add to warm or cold salads.
Notes
Should I Boil the Potatoes Before Roasting them?
If the potatoes are small enough, there is no need to boil them before roasting. It saves on energy and washing up.
What are the Best Herbs for Potatoes?
Parsley, Rosemary, and Thyme picked fresh are ideal. But a mix of dried herbs will do just as well.
