Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 pounds Baby potatoes (or small Yukon Gold potatoes)
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
- 3 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
- 1 tablespoon Fresh rosemary, chopped
- 1 tablespoon Fresh thyme, chopped
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper, freshly ground
- 0.5 teaspoon Smoked paprika
- 0.25 cup Parmesan cheese, freshly grated (optional)
- 1 tablespoon Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or foil for easy cleanup.
Thoroughly wash and dry the baby potatoes. If the potatoes are larger, cut them into halves or quarters to ensure even cooking.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the olive oil, minced garlic, rosemary, thyme, salt, pepper, and smoked paprika. Stir until well blended.
Add the potatoes to the bowl and toss until they are evenly coated with the herb and oil mixture.
Spread the potatoes out in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring that there is space between each piece for proper roasting.
Roast in the preheated oven for 25 minutes, then use a spatula to gently flip the potatoes. Continue roasting for an additional 10 minutes, or until the potatoes are golden brown and crispy on the outside.
If using Parmesan cheese, sprinkle it over the potatoes in the last 5 minutes of roasting for a delicious cheesy crust.
Once roasted, remove the potatoes from the oven and let them cool slightly. Garnish with chopped parsley before serving.
Serve immediately as a side dish with your favorite protein or enjoy them on their own!
