Ingredients
small red potatoes
3 lbs (halved or quartered)
olive oil
1/4 cup (none)
kosher salt
1 1/2 teaspoons (none)
black pepper
1 teaspoon (freshly ground)
garlic
2 tablespoons (minced (about 6 cloves))
Instructions
1
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
2
Wash and dry the small red potatoes, then cut them into halves or quarters while keeping the skins on for added texture and flavor.
3
In a large mixing bowl, combine the cut potatoes with olive oil, kosher salt, freshly ground black pepper, and minced garlic. Toss everything together thoroughly until the potatoes are fully coated.
4
Prepare a large baking sheet by spraying it generously with cooking spray to prevent sticking.
5
Spread the seasoned potatoes onto the baking sheet in a single layer, ensuring they have room to roast evenly.
6
Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and roast the potatoes for at least 60 minutes. During the roasting process, use a spatula to turn the potatoes twice to promote even browning and crispiness. Check them occasionally, as cooking times may vary if using smaller potato cuts or a cast-iron skillet.
7
Once the potatoes are golden brown and crispy, remove them from the oven and serve immediately for the best texture.
