## Ingredients

* 4–6 medium potatoes (Yukon Gold or Russet work great)
* 3 tablespoons olive oil
* 3 cloves garlic, minced
* 1 teaspoon salt
* ½ teaspoon black pepper
* 1 teaspoon dried rosemary or thyme (optional)
* Fresh parsley or chives, chopped (for garnish)

## Instructions

### 1. Preheat your oven

Set your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or foil for easy cleanup.

### 2. Prep the potatoes

Wash and dry the potatoes well. Place each potato on a cutting board and use a sharp knife to make several shallow cuts across the potato, about ⅛ inch deep, spaced about ¼ inch apart. These scores help the edges crisp up beautifully.

### 3. Season the potatoes

Drizzle the olive oil over the potatoes and rub it in, making sure it seeps into the scored cuts. Sprinkle minced garlic, salt, pepper, and herbs evenly over the potatoes.

### 4. Roast

Place the potatoes on the sheet pan and roast for about 45–55 minutes, turning halfway through, until the potatoes are golden, crispy on the edges, and tender inside.

### 5. Garnish and serve

Remove from the oven and sprinkle with fresh parsley or chives before serving.
