# Garlic Roasted Potatoes

## Ingredients:
- 2 lbs (900g) small potatoes, halved
- 4 garlic cloves, minced
- 3 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tbsp fresh rosemary, chopped
- 1 tbsp fresh thyme, chopped
- 1 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp black pepper

## Instructions:
1. Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C).
2. In a large bowl, toss potatoes with olive oil, garlic, herbs, salt, and pepper.
3. Spread potatoes on a baking sheet in a single layer.
4. Roast for 25-30 minutes, turning halfway through, until golden and crispy.

- Can be made ahead and reheated in a hot oven for 10 minutes.
