Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 1 kg baby potatoes
Herbs and Seasonings:
- 4 cloves garlic
- 2 tablespoons fresh rosemary
- 2 tablespoons fresh thyme
- 1 teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon pepper
Cooking Liquid:
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
Instructions
- Grab your clean, scrubbed baby potatoes and slice each one in half to create more crispy surfaces for roasting.
- Whisk together 3 tablespoons olive oil with 4 minced garlic cloves, creating a fragrant herb-infused liquid that will coat your potatoes.
- Sprinkle 2 tablespoons chopped rosemary and 2 tablespoons chopped thyme into the oil mixture, stirring to distribute the fresh herbs evenly.
- Add 1 teaspoon salt and ½ teaspoon pepper to your herb blend, creating a seasoning that will enhance the potato’s natural flavors.
- Drop potato halves into the bowl and roll them around, ensuring every surface gets a luxurious coating of herbs and oil.
- Arrange potatoes cut-side down on a parchment-lined baking sheet, spacing them so they aren’t crowded and can crisp properly.
- Slide the baking sheet into a preheated 400°F oven and roast for 25-30 minutes, rotating the pan once halfway through cooking.
- Check potatoes at 25 minutes – they should be golden brown, crisp on the outside, and tender inside when pierced with a fork.
- Remove from oven and let rest for 3-4 minutes, allowing the potatoes to settle and develop an extra-crispy exterior.
Notes
- Choose baby potatoes of similar size to ensure even cooking and a uniform crispy exterior.
- Use fresh herbs for the most vibrant flavor, crushing them slightly to release more essential oils before mixing with olive oil.
- Shake the baking sheet halfway through roasting to help potatoes brown evenly and prevent sticking.
- For a crispy result, make sure potatoes are completely dry after washing and don’t overcrowd the baking sheet, which can cause steaming instead of roasting.
