Method

Preparation of Potatoes

  1. 1

    Wash and Cut Potatoes

    Thoroughly wash the Russet potatoes under cold water. Peel if desired, then cut them into small cubes or wedges, approximately 1 inch in size.

  2. 2

    Preheat Oven

    Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C) to ensure it is hot enough to roast the potatoes perfectly.

  3. 3

    Season Potatoes

    In a large mixing bowl, combine the cut potatoes, olive oil, minced garlic, salt, black pepper, paprika, and dried oregano. Toss well until all the potatoes are evenly coated with the seasoning.

Roasting Potatoes

  1. 4

    Prepare Baking Tray

    Line a half or full tray with parchment paper to prevent sticking. Spread the seasoned potatoes evenly on the tray.

  2. 5

    Roast in Oven

    Place the tray in the preheated oven and roast for about 30-35 minutes, or until the potatoes are golden brown and tender, stirring halfway through to ensure even cooking.

Optional Chicken/Sausage Addition

  1. 6

    Prepare Chicken/Sausage

    If using chicken, season the boneless thighs with salt and pepper. For sausage, simply slice them into rounds. You can add either the chicken or sausage to the same tray as the potatoes.

  2. 7

    Combine and Roast

    If adding chicken or sausage, place them on the tray with the potatoes in the last 15 minutes of roasting. Ensure they are cooked through (chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F/74°C).

Finishing Touches

  1. 8

    Add Fresh Parsley

    Once the potatoes (and chicken or sausage, if used) are done roasting, remove them from the oven and sprinkle chopped fresh parsley over the top for added flavor and color.

  2. 9

    Serve

    Serve the Vesuvio potatoes hot as a delicious side dish or main course. Enjoy!
