Potatoes with Homemade Mediterranean Flavors.
Oven-baked or air-fried.
This recipe, which might seem trivial and simple, actually has rules to be followed.
First of all, the ingredients must be top-quality, like new potatoes; I prefer to use Silane ones.
You will have the option for those who cannot make the flavors at home to use commercial ones,
While for those lucky enough to find them, I will show you how.
The Mediterranean herbs that I grow on my terrace, exposed to the sun from morning to evening, are:
Rosemary, sage, wild fennel, garlic, chives, bay leaf.
More fresh ones like lemon thyme, basil, and parsley. It’s like having the whole Mediterranean in a magic jar,
Follow the recipe and I’ll show you how to do it.

Preparation
Let’s prepare the herbs at home
Take the chopper, and insert all the herbs and 1 clove of garlic, add the coarse salt, and chop until you get a fine powder.
Peel the potatoes and cut them into wedges, rinse them under running water, then drain and place them in a bowl.
Pour over the evo oil, a pinch of salt and pepper, and about 1 generous tablespoon of herbs.
Massage the potatoes and let them rest for 5 minutes.
Meanwhile, preheat the oven to 375°F fan.
Place a sheet of baking paper, previously wet and wrung out, on a baking tray. Pour the potatoes over it, and some rosemary sprigs.
Bake in the oven for 15 minutes, then change the cooking mode and activate the grill still at 375°F for another 5 minutes.
They should look like this, but if you want them even more golden, leave them under the grill for a few more minutes, but be careful not to burn them.
Serve hot, as an accompaniment to meat or fish.
In the air fryer, they cook for 20 minutes at 392°F
