Ingredients:

|---|---|
| 4-5 | Potatoes |
| 1 | Olive oil |
| 1 | Butter |
| 1-2 | Garlic cloves (optional) |
Instructions:
-
Preheat the Oven:
- Begin by preheating your oven to 350Β°F (175Β°C). This ensures that the oven is ready when your potatoes are prepared for roasting.
-
Prepare the Potatoes:
- Wash the potatoes thoroughly and cut them into bite-sized chunks, leaving the skin on for added texture and nutrients. No need to peel them, as the skin crisps up beautifully during roasting.
-
Seasoning:
- In a large bowl, toss the potato chunks with olive oil and melted butter until they are evenly coated. You can also add minced garlic for extra flavor if desired. The combination of olive oil and butter ensures a rich and savory taste while promoting a golden, crispy exterior.
-
Bake:
- Spread the seasoned potato chunks in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or aluminum foil. This prevents sticking and makes cleanup a breeze.
- Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and roast the potatoes for 30-40 minutes, or until they are golden brown and crispy on the outside, and tender on the inside. Remember to turn them occasionally during cooking to ensure even browning.
-
Serve and Enjoy:
- Once the potatoes are cooked to perfection, remove them from the oven and transfer them to a serving platter. Garnish with fresh herbs like parsley or dill for a pop of color and an extra burst of flavor.
- These Oven Roast Greek Potatoes are best served hot, alongside your favorite main dish or as a standalone snack. They pair wonderfully with grilled meats, roasted vegetables, or as a side to a refreshing Greek salad.
-
Storage Tips:
- If you happen to have any leftovers, store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, simply place them back in the oven or microwave until warmed through, and enjoy the crispy goodness all over again!
-
Customization:
- Feel free to customize this recipe to suit your taste preferences. You can add additional herbs and spices such as oregano, thyme, or paprika for an extra punch of flavor. Experiment with different types of potatoes for varied textures and tastes.
