These roasted potatoes are perfectly seasoned with garlic, rosemary, and thyme, creating a mouthwatering flavor profile. The texture is crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, making them an irresistible addition to any meal.

Ingredients

  • 2 pounds baby potatoes, halved

  • 4 tablespoons olive oil

  • 4 cloves garlic, minced

  • 1 tablespoon fresh rosemary, chopped

  • 1 tablespoon fresh thyme, chopped

  • 1 teaspoon salt, adjust to taste

  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper

  • Fresh parsley for garnish (optional)

Directions

  • Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
  • Prepare the Potatoes: In a large bowl, combine the halved baby potatoes, olive oil, minced garlic, rosemary, thyme, salt, and pepper. Toss until the potatoes are evenly coated.
  • Roast the Potatoes: Spread the coated potatoes in a single layer on a baking sheet. Roast in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy, tossing halfway through for even cooking.
  • Garnish and Serve: Once roasted, remove from the oven and garnish with fresh parsley if desired. Serve hot and enjoy!

Key Prep Tips

  1. Uniform Sizing: Cut the potatoes into evenly sized pieces to ensure they cook uniformly.
  2. Pat Dry: Dry the potatoes with a paper towel after washing to help achieve a crispy exterior.
  3. Preheat the Pan: Preheat the baking sheet in the oven for extra crispiness.
  4. Toss Thoroughly: Toss the potatoes in the garlic, herbs, and oil mixture thoroughly to coat every piece.
  5. Flip Midway: Flip the potatoes halfway through roasting to get an even golden-brown crust on all sides.

Suggested Variations

  1. Cheesy Option: Sprinkle grated Parmesan cheese over the potatoes during the last 5 minutes of roasting for a cheesy finish.
  2. Spicy Kick: Add cayenne pepper or smoked paprika to the seasoning mix for a spicy twist.
  3. Sweet Potato Twist: Substitute half or all of the regular potatoes with sweet potatoes for a slightly sweet and savory combination.
  4. Herb Mix: Experiment with different herbs like dill, rosemary, or thyme to customize the flavor.
  5. Garlic Lovers: Roast whole garlic cloves alongside the potatoes for bursts of caramelized garlic flavor.

Serving Suggestions

  1. As a Side Dish: Serve alongside roasted chicken, grilled steak, or baked salmon for a hearty meal.
  2. Breakfast Option: Pair with scrambled eggs or an omelet for a satisfying breakfast or brunch.
  3. Salad Addition: Toss the roasted potatoes into a fresh green salad for added texture and flavor.
  4. Dip-Friendly: Serve with sour cream, ranch dressing, or a garlic aioli for dipping.
  5. Topped with Greens: Garnish with chopped fresh parsley or green onions for a vibrant finishing touch.
