Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1000 grams baby potatoes
- 3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 2 sprigs fresh rosemary
- 2 sprigs fresh thyme
- 4 whole garlic cloves
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon paprika (optional)
- 2 tablespoons parsley (for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 200°C (400°F). Line a baking tray with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
Wash the baby potatoes thoroughly. If they are larger than bite-sized, cut them in half or quarters to ensure even cooking.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the baby potatoes, olive oil, salt, black pepper, and paprika (if using). Toss until the potatoes are evenly coated.
Strip the rosemary and thyme leaves from their stems and finely chop them. Add the chopped herbs to the potato mixture and toss again to distribute the flavors.
Lightly smash the garlic cloves with the flat side of a knife to release their aroma but keep them intact. Add these to the bowl of potatoes.
Spread the seasoned potatoes and garlic evenly on the prepared baking tray in a single layer, ensuring they aren't overcrowded.
Roast the potatoes in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, flipping them halfway through to ensure they cook evenly and develop crispy edges.
Once the potatoes are golden brown and fork-tender, remove them from the oven.
Transfer the roasted potatoes to a serving dish and sprinkle finely chopped parsley over the top for a fresh garnish.
Serve immediately and enjoy your perfectly roasted potatoes!
