Ingredients

Units Scale

Potatoes

  • 1.5 lbs baby potatoes, halved

Seasoning

  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 3 tbsp olive oil
  • 2 tsp fresh rosemary, chopped
  • 2 tsp fresh thyme, chopped
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) to prepare for roasting the potatoes.
  2. Prepare Baking Sheet: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and facilitate easy cleanup.
  3. Cut Potatoes: Halve or quarter the baby potatoes to ensure they cook evenly and become tender throughout.
  4. Mix Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the halved potatoes, minced garlic, olive oil, chopped rosemary, thyme, salt, and pepper. Toss everything together until the potatoes are evenly coated with the herb and oil mixture.
  5. Arrange on Baking Sheet: Spread the potato mixture in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, making sure they are not overcrowded for optimal roasting and crispiness.
  6. Roast Potatoes: Place the baking sheet in the oven and roast for 25-30 minutes. Halfway through cooking, stir the potatoes to ensure they brown evenly on all sides.
  7. Check for Doneness and Serve: Once the potatoes are golden brown and fork-tender, remove from the oven. Serve warm as a delicious side dish.

Notes

  • Use baby potatoes for quicker roasting and a tender inside.
  • Fresh herbs add more vibrant flavor than dried, but dried can be used in a pinch.
  • Adjust salt and pepper according to taste preferences.
  • For extra crispiness, you can increase the oven temperature slightly or use convection bake if available.
  • Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
