ChatGPT's Roasted Potatoes

 Ingredients:

2 lbs baby potatoes

4 tbsp olive oil

2 tsp salt

1 tsp black pepper

2 tsp dried thyme

2 cloves garlic, minced

Instructions:

Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).

(Andre's commentary: Good temperature choice!)

Wash and dry the potatoes. Cut them into 1-inch pieces.

(No need to be so precise-- if you're using baby potatoes like the recipe suggests, cutting them in half, or in quarters if a baby potato is particularly large, is plenty small enough) 

In a large bowl, mix together the potatoes, olive oil, salt, pepper, thyme, and minced garlic.

(The size of the bowl here is crucial because it allows for effective tossing, which in turn coats all the pieces of the potatoes in the oil-spice mix)

Arrange the potatoes in a single layer on a baking sheet.

(Again, GPT nails a mission-critical detail: keep the potatoes in a single layer, or the top layer will roast and the bottom layer(s) will steam.)

Roast the potatoes for 25-30 minutes, flipping them once halfway through, or until they are golden brown and crispy.

(Double, if not triple, that cooking time for potato pieces that size, but at least that's the right idea!)
