Crispy and flavorful roasted baby potatoes seasoned with fresh rosemary or thyme, olive oil, kosher salt, and black pepper, perfect as a delicious side dish for any meal.

Ingredients

Potatoes

  • 2 pounds baby Yukon gold or red potatoes (about 1-inch wide)

Herbs and Seasoning

  • 1 small bunch fresh rosemary or thyme (finely chopped to yield 2 tablespoons)
  • 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

Oil

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven: Arrange a rack in the middle of the oven and heat to 425ºF (220ºC), ensuring even heat distribution for roasting.
  2. Prepare the potatoes and herbs: Halve the 2 pounds of baby Yukon gold or red potatoes so that each piece is about 1 inch wide. Finely chop fresh rosemary or thyme leaves until you have approximately 2 tablespoons to release their flavor.
  3. Toss potatoes with seasoning: Place the halved potatoes on a rimmed baking sheet. Drizzle with 2 tablespoons of olive oil, then sprinkle evenly with the chopped herbs, 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt, and 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper. Toss the potatoes gently to coat them thoroughly.
  4. Arrange potatoes for roasting: Lay the potatoes in a single layer on the baking sheet, positioning them cut-side down to maximize browning.
  5. Roast potatoes first side: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and roast the potatoes for 20 to 25 minutes, until the bottoms are lightly browned and the potatoes release easily from the pan with a flat spatula.
  6. Toss and roast again: Toss the potatoes to turn and promote even browning. Continue roasting for another 5 minutes or until the potatoes are golden brown all over and tender when pierced with a fork.

Notes

  • Use fresh herbs like rosemary or thyme to enhance the flavor of the potatoes.
  • Make sure to arrange the potatoes cut-side down to achieve a crispy golden crust.
  • Use a rimmed baking sheet to prevent oil or juices from spilling in the oven.
  • For best results, use baby Yukon gold or red potatoes as they roast evenly and have a creamy texture.
  • These roasted potatoes make an excellent side dish for grilled or roasted meats, or a hearty vegetarian meal.
