🔪 Preparation Steps
1️⃣ Prep the Potatoes
-
Wash and scrub the red potatoes thoroughly.

Soy sauce

Black pepper

Italian seasoning

Add potatoes and toss until fully coated.
3️⃣ Roast
-
Preheat oven to 200°C (400°F).
-
Line a baking tray with parchment paper.
-
Spread potatoes in a single layer (cut side down for crispiness).
-
Roast for 35–45 minutes, flipping halfway through.
-
Roast until golden brown and fork-tender.
4️⃣ Final Garlic Glaze Boost (Optional but Recommended)
