Roasted Potatoes with Herbs Recipe

4.4 from 87 reviews

A simple and flavorful recipe for roasted baby potatoes tossed in olive oil and aromatic herbs, then oven-roasted to a crispy, golden perfection. Perfect as a side dish for any meal.

Ingredients

Scale

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)

Instructions

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
  5. 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.
