Ingredients
Scale
Potatoes and Herbs
- 2 lb. baby potatoes, quartered
- 1 tbsp. chopped fresh rosemary
- 1 tbsp. chopped fresh parsley
- 1 tbsp. fresh thyme leaves
Seasonings
- 2 cloves garlic, finely chopped
- 1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
- Kosher salt, to taste
- Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
- Pinch of crushed red pepper flakes
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C), which will ensure the potatoes roast perfectly with a nice golden crust.
- Toss Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the quartered baby potatoes, finely chopped garlic, extra-virgin olive oil, chopped rosemary, parsley, and thyme. Season generously with kosher salt, freshly ground black pepper, and a pinch of crushed red pepper flakes. Toss everything well so the potatoes are evenly coated with the herbs and oil.
- Arrange on Baking Sheet: Spread the potato mixture evenly onto a large metal baking sheet in a single layer. This ensures even roasting and prevents steaming.
- Roast: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and roast the potatoes for 35 to 40 minutes, or until they are golden brown on the outside and fork-tender inside. Every 15 minutes or so, you can toss or flip the potatoes for even cooking.
- Serve: Once perfectly roasted, remove the potatoes from the oven and serve them hot as a savory side dish to complement your favorite main courses.
Notes
- Use baby potatoes for the best texture; Yukon Gold or red potatoes work well.
- Tossing the potatoes halfway through roasting helps them cook evenly and get crispier.
- Fresh herbs are preferred for optimal flavor, but dried herbs can be substituted at 1/3 the quantity.
- For extra crispy potatoes, increase the oven temperature to 450°F and shorten cooking time slightly, watching carefully to prevent burning.
- This recipe can be made gluten free, vegan, and vegetarian.
