Ingredients
- 2 pounds baby potatoes or Yukon Gold potatoes, halved or quartered
- 3 tbsp olive oil
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tbsp fresh rosemary, chopped (or 1 tsp dried rosemary)
- 1 tbsp fresh thyme, chopped (or 1 tsp dried thyme)
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
- 1/2 tsp paprika (optional)
- Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat the Oven:
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
Prepare the Potatoes:
- Wash and scrub the potatoes. Cut them into halves or quarters, depending on size. The smaller the pieces, the crispier they will be.
Toss the Potatoes:
- In a large bowl, toss the potatoes with olive oil, minced garlic, rosemary, thyme, salt, pepper, and paprika (if using). Ensure the potatoes are well-coated.
Arrange on Baking Sheet:
- Spread the potatoes in a single layer on the baking sheet, ensuring they’re not overcrowded. This helps them roast evenly and get crispy.
Roast the Potatoes:
- Roast the potatoes for 35-40 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden brown and crispy on the outside and tender on the inside.
Serve:
- Remove from the oven and garnish with fresh parsley. Serve hot as a side dish to your favorite main course.
Notes
- Variations: Add a spicy kick with cayenne pepper or chili flakes, or sprinkle with grated Parmesan cheese during the last 5 minutes of roasting for a cheesy twist.
- Lemon Zest: For a zesty flavor, add lemon zest along with the garlic.
- Other Herbs: Feel free to experiment with oregano, basil, or sage to tailor the flavor to your liking.
