Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
Scrub the new potatoes thoroughly under running water and pat them dry. Halve any larger potatoes to ensure even cooking.
Peel the garlic cloves and smash them lightly with the flat side of a knife to release their aroma. Leave them whole if desired for a milder flavor, or chop coarsely for more intensity.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the potatoes, garlic, olive oil, rosemary, thyme, salt, and black pepper. Toss together until the potatoes are evenly coated.
Spread the coated potatoes in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring the cut sides (if halved) are facing down to achieve a golden-brown crust.
Bake in the preheated oven for 30–35 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender and the edges are crispy and golden. Stir the potatoes halfway through cooking to ensure even browning.
Remove from the oven and allow to cool slightly. Garnish with chopped parsley, if desired, for a touch of freshness.
Serve warm as a delicious side dish alongside roasted meats, grilled vegetables, or a fresh salad.
