Ingredients
Scale
Potatoes
- 2 pounds baby potatoes, halved or quartered
Seasonings and Herbs
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon fresh rosemary, chopped (or 1 teaspoon dried rosemary)
- 1 tablespoon fresh thyme, chopped (or 1 teaspoon dried thyme)
- Salt and pepper, to taste
Garnish
- Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) to ensure it’s hot enough for roasting the potatoes evenly, giving them a crispy exterior.
- Prepare the potatoes: In a large bowl, toss the halved or quartered baby potatoes with olive oil, minced garlic, rosemary, thyme, salt, and pepper. Mix until all potatoes are evenly coated with the herbs and oil.
- Arrange on baking sheet: Spread the seasoned potatoes out in a single layer on a baking sheet. Make sure they are not crowded to allow even roasting and browning.
- Roast the potatoes: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and roast the potatoes for 30-40 minutes. Flip the potatoes halfway through cooking to promote even browning. Roast until the potatoes are golden brown and crispy on the outside, yet tender inside when pierced with a fork.
- Garnish and serve: Once roasted, remove the potatoes from the oven and sprinkle with freshly chopped parsley. Serve immediately while hot and crispy.
Notes
- For extra crispiness, you can parboil the potatoes for 5 minutes before roasting.
- Adjust the amount of garlic and herbs according to your taste preferences.
- If using dried herbs, reduce the quantity since dried herbs are more concentrated.
- The recipe works well with other small potatoes like fingerlings or new potatoes.
- To keep potatoes warm before serving, cover loosely with foil.
