Ingredients
- 8 medium gold potatoes peeled and cut into cubes
- 2 tablespoons olive oil divided
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 3 garlic cloves minced
- 2 teaspoons crushed red pepper divided
- 1 cup chopped cilantro divided
- Lemon wedges for serving
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 450°F and line a sheet pan with parchment paper.
- Place the potatoes on the baking sheet in one layer, drizzle 1 tablespoon olive oil on top and season with salt. Roast until the potatoes reach a golden brown color and crisp, about 30 minutes, flipping halfway through.
- Meanwhile, heat the remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil in a small pan. Add the garlic, 1 teaspoon of the crushed red pepper and half the cilantro. Sauté until the garlic is golden in color, about 2 minutes; remove from heat and set aside.
- Once the potatoes are roasted, transfer the garlic mixture on top of the potatoes and toss with the remaining cilantro and the red pepper flakes.
- Serve hot or warm with a squeeze of lemon juice on top, if desired

Notes
- Storage: Store any leftovers in an airtight container. They will last about 5 days in the fridge. To reheat, just place in the oven at 350°F for 5-7 minutes or in a toaster oven. You can also reheat in the microwave, but the potatoes won't retain a crispy texture that way.
- Substitutes: For best results, follow the recipe as is. However you can switch out the herbs if you'd like, use butter instead of olive oil and make these with other types of potatoes. You can also reduce the spices based on your preference.
