How to Make Mediterranean Potatoes?
Wash and scrub the potatoes well, especially if you’re keeping the skins on (which I highly recommend for extra crispiness). Cut them into evenly sized wedges or cubes to ensure they cook evenly.
In a large sauce pan add the potatoes and water to boil. When it got soft, drain.
Preheat your oven to 220°C (425°F). In a large mixing bowl, toss the potatoes with olive oil, minced garlic, rosemary, oregano, and salt. Mix well to coat each piece with the seasoning.
Spread the potatoes in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Add the bay leaves for extra flavor. Roast for about 30-40 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the potatoes are crispy and golden brown.
