Preparing the Potatoes

Begin by preheating your oven to 200°C (400°F). While the oven is warming up, wash and scrub the potatoes thoroughly. Cut them into equal-sized chunks to ensure they cook evenly. In a large bowl, toss the potato chunks with the olive oil, ensuring they are well-coated. Then, season with salt, black pepper, and your choice of herbs, such as rosemary or thyme, for that aromatic kick.

Roasting

Spread the potato chunks in a single layer on a baking tray lined with parchment paper or lightly greased to prevent sticking. Make sure they are not overcrowded to allow for even roasting. Place the tray in the preheated oven and roast for about 40-45 minutes or until the potatoes are golden and crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. Halfway through, you might want to flip the potatoes to ensure they roast evenly on all sides.

Serving

Once roasted to perfection, remove the potatoes from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes. They are best served warm, garnished with a little extra sprinkle of salt or herbs, if desired. Roasted potatoes make an excellent side dish for meat or fish dishes and can also be enjoyed as a hearty main on their own.
