4 tablespoons olive oil
¼ teaspoon black pepper
3 cloves garlic, lightly crushed
Salt to taste
4–5 medium potatoes, cut into wedges or cubes
Optional: rosemary or thyme for extra aroma
👩🍳 Instructions
1️⃣ Prepare the potatoes
Wash and cut potatoes into even-sized pieces. Dry them well with a towel — this helps them crisp up beautifully in the oven.
2️⃣ Infuse the oil
In a bowl, mix olive oil, crushed garlic, salt, and black pepper. Let it sit for a few minutes so the garlic flavor infuses into the oil.
3️⃣ Coat the potatoes
Add potatoes to the bowl and toss until they are fully coated in the garlic olive oil mixture.
4️⃣ Roast until golden
Spread potatoes on a baking tray in a single layer. Roast at 200°C (400°F) for 35–45 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden and crispy.
5️⃣ Serve hot
Remove from the oven and serve immediately while hot, crispy, and fragrant.
