Cooking Instructions:
Preheat your oven to 400°F or 450°F, depending on how crispy you want your potatoes. Prepare a large baking sheet by lightly greasing it with olive oil, or line it with foil and spray it with non-stick spray.
Scrub the red potatoes under cold water to remove any dirt. Pat them dry with a towel, then cut them into quarters or cubes, verifying that they're roughly the same size for even cooking.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the quartered potatoes with olive oil, minced garlic, salt, pepper, and any optional herbs you prefer. Toss the mixture until the potatoes are evenly coated.
Spread the seasoned potatoes in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Place them in the preheated oven and roast for 25-55 minutes, depending on your oven temperature and the size of the potato pieces.
Halfway through the cooking time, take the baking sheet out of the oven and flip or stir the potatoes to verify even browning. Continue roasting until the potatoes are golden brown and fork-tender.
Once done, remove the potatoes from the oven and transfer them to a serving dish. If desired, garnish with fresh parsley or herbs, and sprinkle with Parmesan cheese for added flavor.
Serve warm, and enjoy your delicious garlic roasted red potatoes!
