Sunny's Roasted Rosemary and Thyme Potatoes
- Kosher salt
- 6 to 8 russet or Yukon gold potatoes, peeled
- 2 to 4 tablespoons olive oil
- 10 to 20 sprigs fresh thyme
- 4 to 6 sprigs fresh rosemary
- Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil.
- Cut the potatoes in quarters lengthwise.
- Using a paring knife and plenty of patience, cut each quarter into 1 or 2 torpedo- or oval-shaped pieces.
- Place in a large bowl of cold water while you finish the rest.
- Add the potatoes to the boiling water and blanch for just under 4 minutes.
- (This really depends on the size of your potatoes, but be sure to not cook them for potato salad; this is just to get them slightly tender--you shouldn't be able to get a fork through them.
- The oven will do the rest.)
- Remove the potatoes from the water to a paper towel-lined plate until slightly cooled.
- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
- Pour the potatoes into a large bowl and drizzle over enough olive oil to coat all sides.
- On a large baking sheet with sides, add the thyme and rosemary (whole) to make a bed of sorts.
- Pour out the potatoes onto the sheet and space them evenly so the air can circulate as they roast.
- Season the entire sheet with a pinch of salt.
- Roast the potatoes until golden brown on the edges and crisp, 25 to 30 minutes.
