Potatoes
- 2 pounds baby potatoes (or any small potatoes), halved
Seasonings
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon dried rosemary
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- Salt and pepper to taste
Garnish
- Fresh parsley for garnish (optional)
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) to ensure it reaches the optimal temperature for roasting the potatoes, which will help them become crispy on the outside.
- Prepare the Potatoes: In a large mixing bowl, add the halved baby potatoes. Drizzle the olive oil over them, then sprinkle in the dried rosemary, dried thyme, salt, and pepper. Use your hands or a spatula to toss everything together until the potatoes are evenly coated with the oil and herbs.
- Arrange on Baking Sheet: Spread the seasoned potatoes out in a single layer on a baking sheet to allow even roasting and prevent overcrowding, which can cause steaming instead of roasting.
- Roast the Potatoes: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and roast the potatoes for 25-30 minutes. Toss them halfway through the cooking time to ensure even browning and crispiness on all sides.
- Serve: Once golden brown and crispy, remove the potatoes from the oven. Transfer them to a serving dish, garnish with fresh parsley if desired, and serve immediately while hot.
Notes
- For extra crispiness, make sure the potatoes are dry before tossing with the oil.
- You can substitute fresh rosemary and thyme if preferred; use about 1 tablespoon of fresh herbs instead of dried.
- Adjust salt and pepper according to your taste.
- Roasted potatoes can be reheated in the oven to regain their crispiness.
- Try adding garlic powder or paprika for an extra flavor boost.
