Patatas asadas crujientes fáciles

Ingredientes

• 1 1/4 pounds / 600 grams baby potatoes (washed and halved)
• 1 1/2 tablespoons olive oil
• 2 cloves garlic (finely minced)
• 1 tablespoon fresh rosemary
• 1 tablespoon fresh thyme
• 1 tablespoon fresh parsley (optional)
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper

Preparación

1. 1

   Preheat the oven to 200°C / 400°F and place a baking tray in the oven to heat up.

2. 2

   Wash the potatoes to remove any bits of dirt from the skins.

3. 3

   Pick the leaves from the rosemary and thyme and chop the leave roughly.

4. 4

   Cut the potatoes in half and place them in a mixing bowl along with the garlic, chopped herbs, salt and pepper, and olive oil. Mix well to coat the potatoes, then leave them to stand until the baking tray is hot.

5. 5

   Once the tray is hot, remove it from the oven and place the potatoes cut-side down onto the hot tray. Pour over any remaining olive oil that may still be in the bowl.

6. 6

   Replace the baking tray in the oven and leave the potatoes to cook for 25 minutes until they are soft on the inside and golden and crispy outside.

7. 7

   Transfer the potatoes to a serving dish, optionally garnish with chopped parsley, and serve immediately.
