Ingredients

Scale

Potatoes

  • 4 large potatoes (russet or Yukon gold)

Seasoning

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon dried rosemary
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Optional

  • Olive oil spray

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) to ensure it reaches the right temperature for roasting the potatoes evenly.
  2. Prepare Potatoes: Peel the large potatoes and carefully cut them into skull shapes using a knife or cookie cutter to create the spooky design.
  3. Make Seasoning Mixture: In a mixing bowl, combine olive oil, minced garlic, dried rosemary, dried thyme, and season with salt and pepper. Stir well to blend the flavors.
  4. Toss Potatoes: Add the skull-shaped potatoes into the bowl and toss them thoroughly in the seasoning mixture until evenly coated.
  5. Prepare Baking Sheet: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and place the seasoned potatoes spaced evenly on the sheet.
  6. Optional Olive Oil Spray: Lightly spray the potatoes with olive oil spray to enhance crispiness during baking.
  7. Bake: Bake the potatoes in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, flipping them halfway through the baking time to ensure they brown evenly and become crispy on all sides.
  8. Serve: Once golden brown and tender, remove the potatoes from the oven and serve warm as a festive side dish or snack.
