Add 1 tbsp of dry oregano and season with salt and freshly ground white pepper, then mix everything together.

Preheat the oven to 400°F and place the baking dish in the oven for about 20 minutes.

After 20 minutes, remove the potatoes from the oven, mix them, and return them to the oven for an additional 30 minutes.
