I think any kind of potatoes can be cooked this way, however red skin ones are the best here. You can take big potatoes and slice them in smaller wedges or smaller ones and cook them whole or sliced in halves.
Vary amount of herbs as well as herbs themselves to your taste, in additional to rosemary, thyme, oregano you can use parsley, dill, black pepper, etc; I would just advise to keep rosemary in – it goes great with potatoes.
Over-roasted herbed redskin potatoes can be a no-meat dish on itself or you can accompany a meat entry with it as a side dish.
Ingredients:
- 2lbs of red skin potatoes, about 12-14 potatoes
- Olive or sunflower oil, about 1/3 cup
- Dry rosemary to taste
- Dry thyme to taste
- Dry oregano flakes to taste
- 3-4 cloves of garlic
- Salt to taste

Hi do you cover the potatoes with foil while they are cooking?
I didn’t.
Are those the once we had Saturday or did you do them differently?
Almost the same, I just blended garlic with herbs, salt and oil first, the rest is the same
Love red potatoes.. Planning to make them for dinner tonight.. Do you cover the potatoes when placed in the oven? or just leave them uncovered?
I don’t use cover, don’t forget to stir so they cook evenly
