Ingredients
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C).
- Mix olive oil, crushed garlic, salt, and freshly ground pepper in a 9-inch square baking dish.
- Add the quartered potatoes and turn to coat with the oil mixture.
- Bake until tender and browned, about 30 to 35 minutes.
- Sprinkle with chopped fresh parsley before serving.
Tips & Substitutions
For extra flavor, consider adding herbs like rosemary or thyme to the olive oil mixture. If you're out of red potatoes, Yukon Gold or fingerling potatoes work well as substitutes. To ensure even roasting, make sure the potatoes are cut into uniform pieces. Toss them halfway through cooking for an even golden color.
Serving Suggestions
Serve these roast potatoes alongside a hearty protein like Beef And Vegetable Kebabs or as a side to Mediterranean recipes. They also pair beautifully with a fresh Veggie Salad for a balanced meal. Garnish with additional parsley or a squeeze of lemon juice for brightness.
Storage & Reheating
Store leftover roast potatoes in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, spread them on a baking sheet and warm in a preheated oven at 400°F (200°C) for about 10-15 minutes until crispy. Avoid microwaving to keep them from becoming soggy.
