 Preparation Steps

1. Fill a large pot with water and bring to a boil. Add salt, baking soda, and potatoes. Simmer for 10 minutes until fork tender. Drain and let sit for 1 minute.
2. In a small saucepan, heat olive oil with rosemary (or thyme), garlic, and black pepper for 2–3 minutes until garlic turns golden. Strain oil over potatoes. Season with salt and pepper.
3. Shake the pot to roughen potato edges — this helps create a crispy coating.
4. Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). Spread potatoes on a baking sheet in a single layer.
5. Roast for 30–35 minutes, flip once, then continue roasting 30–40 minutes until deep golden and crispy.
6. Transfer to a bowl, toss with garlic-herb mixture (optional) and fresh parsley. Adjust seasoning and serve hot.
