Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 lbs Baby potatoes (Yukon Gold or fingerling)
- 4 cups Coarse kosher salt
- 4 tbsp Unsalted butter
- 2 tbsp Fresh parsley, chopped
- 1 tsp Fresh rosemary, chopped
- 1 tsp Black pepper, freshly ground
- 2 tbsp Olive oil
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Spread the coarse kosher salt evenly in a baking dish large enough to hold the potatoes in a single layer. This will create a heat-retaining bed for the potatoes to roast on.
Wash and dry the baby potatoes thoroughly. No need to peel them as the skins will become wonderfully crisp during baking.
Nestle the potatoes into the salt, ensuring they are each well supported and not stacked on top of one another.
Roast the potatoes in the preheated oven for 45-50 minutes, or until a knife inserted into the center of a potato meets little resistance.
While the potatoes are roasting, melt the unsalted butter in a saucepan over low heat. Stir in the chopped parsley, rosemary, black pepper, and olive oil. Remove from heat and set aside.
Once the potatoes are cooked, remove them from the baking dish, brushing off any excess salt from the skins. Discard the used salt.
Transfer the roasted potatoes to a serving bowl. Drizzle the melted butter and herb mixture over the hot potatoes, tossing gently to coat evenly.
Serve immediately, garnished with additional parsley if desired. Enjoy the crispy-skinned, tender potatoes as a side dish or snack!
