Easy Crispy Oven Roasted Potatoes
These Easy Crispy Oven Roasted Potatoes are quartered baby red potatoes coated with olive oil, kosher salt, black pepper, and fresh herbs like thyme, rosemary, and parsley. Roasting at high heat and flipping halfway ensures a browned, crispy exterior with tender potato interiors. The recipe highlights the advantage of using fresh herbs and appropriate baking surfaces for optimal crispness.
Ingredients
- 2 pounds potato quartered into 1-inch pieces, baby red, with skin
- 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
- ½ teaspoon kosher salt
- ½ teaspoon black pepper freshly ground
- 2 tablespoons thyme fresh minced herb leaves
- 2 tablespoons rosemary
- 2 tablespoons parsley
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400°F.
- Place the potatoes on a baking sheet. Drizzle the potatoes with the olive oil then sprinkle with the kosher salt, freshly ground black pepper and minced herbs. Toss with your hands until coated then spread out evenly in a single layer on the baking sheet, cut side down.
- Bake for 30 minutes, or until roasted and browned, flipping the potatoes to the other cut side down, half way through the cooking time.
- Serve the potatoes warm or at room temperature.
Notes
- Refrain from using aluminum foil or non-stick baking sheets, as these prevent potatoes from developing a crispy outer crust.
