Vegan Easily The Best Garlic Herb Roasted Potatoes

Instructions

1. Fill a large pot with water and bring it to a boil. Add salt, baking soda, and potatoes. Stir well.
2. Once the water returns to a boil, reduce the heat and let the potatoes simmer for 10 minutes. You should be able to easily pierce the potatoes with a fork. Drain the water and let the potatoes sit for a minute to remove any remaining moisture.
3. In a small saucepan, heat olive oil, rosemary (or thyme), garlic, and black pepper over medium heat. Stir constantly until the garlic turns golden, which should take about 2-3 minutes.
4. Strain the oil through a fine-mesh strainer directly over the potatoes. Season with salt and pepper, and mix everything together.
5. To create a mashed layer around each potato piece, shake the pot so that the potatoes slam against all sides of it.
6. Preheat the oven to 425ºF (220ºC).
7. Transfer the potatoes to a large rimmed baking sheet and spread them out evenly.
8. Place the baking sheet in the oven and roast the potatoes without moving them for 30-35 minutes.
9. Using a thin, flexible metal spatula, flip the potatoes. Continue roasting them until they turn deep brown and crispy all over, which will take an additional 30 to 40 minutes. Remember to turn and shake them a few times during cooking.
10. Transfer the roasted potatoes to a large bowl. Optional: Add the garlic-rosemary mixture and minced parsley. Toss everything together to coat the potatoes. Adjust the seasoning with more salt and pepper if desired. Serve immediately.
11. Enjoy your delicious roasted potatoes!
