Equipment
- Skillet
- Oven
- Cutting Board
- Baking Sheet
Ingredients
- 2 cups diced potatoes
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 2 tablespoons fresh herbs
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 425 degrees. This high temperature is crucial for achieving crispy potatoes.
- Pour olive oil into the bottom of a cast iron skillet. This will help in roasting the potatoes evenly and adds richness.
- Add in the diced potatoes. Make sure they’re evenly spread out for consistent cooking.
- Sprinkle kosher salt and ground black pepper over the potatoes. Toss everything together so that the potatoes are well-coated.
- Once coated, place the skillet in the oven. Bake until the potatoes are roasted and fork-tender, which should take about 20 to 30 minutes. You’ll want to check for a golden-brown color on the edges.
- After baking, carefully remove the skillet from the oven. The smell should be irresistible by now!
- Sprinkle with your choice of fresh herbs just before serving. This adds a beautiful finish and enhances the flavor.
- If using dried herbs, toss them in with the salt and pepper prior to baking to release the most flavor.
Notes
- Storage: Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to three days.
- Freezing: While fresh is best, you can freeze cooked potatoes for up to a month. Reheat in the oven for the best results.
- Variations: Add grated cheese before serving for a creamy touch.
- Herb Choices: Try using different herbs like dill or chives to switch things up.
- Serving Options: Great alongside grilled meats or as part of a hearty breakfast.
