Instructions:
Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
Toss potatoes with oil, herbs, garlic, salt, and pepper.
Spread evenly on a baking sheet.
Roast for 25–30 minutes, turning halfway through, until golden brown and tender.
Optional: Use chicken or vegetable broth instead of oil for a moist, savory twist.
Other Flavorful Alternatives
Steam in broth: Steam potato chunks over chicken or vegetable broth for a subtly seasoned, fluffy texture.
Sautéed or pan-fried: Dice boiled potatoes and lightly sauté with butter, herbs, and spices for extra flavor.
Microwave with seasoning: Quick and easy — cover potatoes with a lid or wrap in foil with a little seasoning and microwave until tender.
Final Thoughts
Boiling potatoes in water is convenient, but it often comes at the cost of flavor and texture. By switching to roasting, steaming, or cooking in broth, you unlock the full potential of this humble vegetable.
Next time you’re making potatoes, skip the plain water. Your taste buds — and your dinner guests — will thank you.
