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
Other Ingredients
- 2 cloves garlic, finely chopped
- 1/4 c. extra-virgin olive oil
- Kosher salt, to taste
- Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
- Pinch of crushed red pepper flakes
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Set your oven to 425°F (220°C) to get it ready for roasting the potatoes evenly and achieving a crispy texture.
- Toss Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the quartered baby potatoes with finely chopped garlic, extra-virgin olive oil, chopped fresh rosemary, parsley, and thyme. Season the mixture generously with kosher salt, freshly ground black pepper, and a pinch of crushed red pepper flakes for a hint of heat. Toss everything well to ensure an even coating of herbs and oil.
- Arrange on Baking Sheet: Transfer the potato mixture onto a large metal baking sheet. Spread the potatoes out in a single layer; this allows for maximum contact with the heat and ensures they roast evenly and become golden brown.
- Roast Potatoes: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and roast the potatoes for 35 to 40 minutes. Check towards the end of cooking to confirm they are fork-tender and golden brown on the outside.
- Serve: Remove the roasted potatoes from the oven and serve immediately while hot, garnished if desired with extra fresh herbs or a sprinkle of sea salt for an enhanced flavor experience.
Notes
- For extra crispiness, spread the potatoes out well on the baking sheet without overcrowding.
- You can substitute baby potatoes with small red potatoes or Yukon golds for a similar effect.
- Adjust red pepper flakes to taste depending on your heat preference.
- These roasted potatoes reheat well in an oven or air fryer to maintain their crisp texture.
- Fresh herbs can be substituted with dried – use about a third of the fresh herb amount if so.
