Description

Crispy roasted baby potatoes seasoned with garlic, onion, and herbs create a flavorful side dish that complements any meal. Easy to prepare and golden-brown, these delightful bites are perfect for sharing!


Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 pounds of baby potatoes
  • 4 tablespoons of olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon of garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon of onion powder
  • 1 teaspoon of dried rosemary
  • 1 teaspoon of dried thyme
  • Salt, to taste
  • Black pepper, to taste
  • Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
  2. Rinse the baby potatoes under cold water and pat them dry. Cut larger potatoes in half or quarters for even cooking.
  3. Place the potatoes in a large pot, cover with cold water, and add a pinch of salt. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 10-15 minutes until fork-tender but not fully cooked.
  4. Drain the potatoes in a colander and let them sit for a few minutes to steam dry.
  5. In a large mixing bowl, combine olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, dried rosemary, dried thyme, salt, and black pepper. Mix well.
  6. Add the drained potatoes to the bowl and gently toss until evenly coated.
  7. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or grease it lightly.
  8. Transfer the seasoned potatoes to the baking sheet in a single layer.
  9. Roast for 25-30 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden brown and crispy.
  10. Test with a fork; it should slide in easily when done.
  11. Remove from the oven, transfer to a serving dish, and sprinkle with chopped parsley.
  12. Taste a potato and adjust seasoning if necessary.

Notes

  • These potatoes pair well with roasted meats, grilled chicken, or as a salad topping. Serve with a dipping sauce for added flavor.
  • Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in the oven to regain crispiness.
  • Feel free to add smoked paprika or grated Parmesan cheese for a twist.
