Description
Deliciously roasted baby potatoes with garlic and herbs, perfect as a side dish.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 pounds baby potatoes (halved)
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 3 cloves garlic (minced)
- 2 teaspoons fresh rosemary (chopped)
- 1 teaspoon fresh thyme (chopped)
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley (chopped)
- 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Prepare Potatoes: Wash the baby potatoes and cut them in half. Pat them dry with a paper towel to remove excess moisture.
- Season Potatoes: In a large mixing bowl, combine the halved potatoes with olive oil, salt, and black pepper. Toss until the potatoes are well coated.
- Add Herbs: Add minced garlic, rosemary, and thyme to the bowl. Toss the potatoes again to evenly distribute the herbs.
- Arrange on Baking Sheet: Spread the potatoes in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Make sure they are not overcrowded to allow even roasting.
- Roast: Place the baking sheet in the oven and roast the potatoes for 25-30 minutes. Halfway through, flip the potatoes to ensure even cooking.
- Final Touches: Once the potatoes are golden brown and crispy, remove them from the oven. If desired, sprinkle grated Parmesan cheese over the hot potatoes. Garnish with chopped parsley before serving.
Notes
- Crispier Potatoes: For extra crispiness, space the potatoes out on the baking sheet so they’re not touching.
- Cheese Variations: Try different cheeses like Pecorino Romano or feta for a twist on flavor.
- Storage: Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in the oven to maintain crispiness.
