Ingredients
Scale
Potatoes
- 3 – 6 Yukon Gold potatoes
Herb and Seasoning Mix
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 2 cloves of garlic, minced
- 1 tbsp chopped fresh thyme
- 1 tbsp chopped fresh rosemary
- 1 tbsp chopped fresh chives
- Sea salt and black pepper to taste
Instructions
- Preheat the oven: Set your oven to 425°F (220°C). Prepare a baking sheet by lightly greasing it with olive oil to prevent sticking and set it aside.
- Prepare the herb mixture: In a small bowl, mix together the olive oil, minced garlic, chopped thyme, rosemary, and chives, creating a fragrant and flavorful herb blend.
- Slice and cut potatoes: Peel the Yukon Gold potatoes and slice them into approximately 1/2 inch thick pieces. Using a heart-shaped cookie cutter, carefully press out as many heart shapes as possible from the slices.
- Season the heart-shaped potatoes: Place the potato hearts in a large mixing bowl. Drizzle with the herb and olive oil mixture, then season generously with sea salt and freshly ground black pepper. Toss thoroughly to coat every piece evenly.
- Roast: Arrange the seasoned heart-shaped potatoes on a parchment-lined baking sheet, ensuring they are spaced out for even roasting. Roast them in the preheated oven for 20 to 30 minutes until they are tender inside and golden brown on the edges.
- Serve: Remove from the oven and serve hot as a charming and delicious side dish or snack.
Notes
- Use Yukon Gold potatoes for their creamy texture and ability to hold shape during roasting.
- The heart-shaped cookie cutter adds a festive touch, but you can substitute with any shape you prefer.
- If fresh herbs are unavailable, substitute with 1 teaspoon each of dried thyme, rosemary, and chives, adjusting amounts to taste.
- For extra crispiness, flip the potatoes halfway through roasting.
- These potatoes pair beautifully with grilled meats, roasted vegetables, or a simple green salad.
