  • 4 garlic cloves crushed
  • 1/2 tsp dried oregano
  • 1/2 tsp dried basil
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp crush black pepper

Method
 

  1. Preheat your oven to 400℉ degrees.

  4. Transfer your coated potatoes onto a baking sheet and place in oven at 400℉ degrees for 25-30 minutes.

  6. Brush with additional garlic butter from the bowl and drizzle with more olive oil if desired.
  7. Place back in the oven for 10-15 minutes until crispy and golden brown.
  8. Remove from oven and let cool.
