These crispy herb roasted baby potatoes feature a perfectly golden and crunchy exterior with soft, fluffy centers, making them a comforting and fuss-free side dish.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1.5 pounds baby Yukon Gold potatoes, washed
  • 1 tablespoon fresh rosemary, finely chopped
  • 1 tablespoon fresh thyme leaves
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
  • Sea salt, to taste
  • Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • Optional: pinch of smoked paprika or chili flakes

Instructions

  1. Place the baby potatoes in a large pot and cover with cold water. Add a pinch of salt and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer for 10-12 minutes until potatoes are just tender but not falling apart.
  2. Drain the potatoes well in a colander and let them steam dry for a few minutes.
  3. Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C).
  4. In a large mixing bowl, combine the warm potatoes with olive oil, minced garlic, chopped rosemary, thyme, sea salt, and black pepper. Gently toss and massage the herbs into the potatoes.
  5. Spread the potatoes out in a single layer on a parchment-lined baking sheet, avoiding overcrowding.
  6. Roast for about 25 minutes, then flip each potato using tongs to brown all sides evenly.
  7. Roast for another 5-10 minutes until golden and crispy.
  8. Taste and adjust salt or pepper if needed. Serve hot.

Notes

Parboiling the potatoes before roasting is key to achieving fluffy interiors. Dry the potatoes thoroughly after boiling to ensure crispiness. Flip the potatoes halfway through roasting for even browning. Avoid microwaving leftovers to prevent sogginess; reheat in the oven instead.
