Garlic Herb Roasted Potatoes
Description
The Garlic Herb Roasted Potatoes recipe uses small potatoes cut into halves or quarters, combining them with olive oil, a generous amount of minced garlic, fresh parsley, salt, and pepper. Roasting at 400°F for 45 to 55 minutes results in potatoes with a browned, crispy exterior and a soft center. Tossing halfway through ensures even cooking. The garlic and herb coating infuses flavor throughout the roasting process.
The earthy quality of the potatoes complements the bright notes of fresh parsley and the pungency of garlic. Cooking them cut side down on the baking sheet helps promote a crispier bottom crust. This recipe suits a variety of meals, adding a savory, aromatic element to main dishes.
For storage, these potatoes keep well refrigerated for several days but will soften over time. Freezing is also an option; flash freezing on a tray before bagging helps maintain texture. Reheating in an air fryer restores crispiness better than a microwave. Garnishing with extra fresh parsley before serving refreshes their appearance and flavor.
Ingredients
- 3 pounds small white potato or small red potato
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons garlic about 6 to 7 cloves, minced
- 2 tablespoons parsley or other herbs, fresh
- 1 teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
- Slice potatoes. Preheat your oven to 400°F. Cut the potatoes in half or quarters (if they're large) and place them in a mixing bowl with the olive oil, minced garlic, parsley, salt, and pepper.
- Toss everything together until well coated.
- Roast the potatoes. Transfer the potatoes to a sheet pan and spread them out on one even layer. For an extra crispy side, make sure they're cut side down on a baking sheet. Roast the potatoes for 45 to 55 minutes, stirring halfway through, until golden and browned.
- Garnish and serve. Transfer the potatoes to a serving bowl. If you'd like, sprinkle a little extra parsley on top before serving.
Notes
- Store cooked potatoes in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 to 5 days; they soften with time, so eat sooner for best texture.
- Freeze leftovers by spreading them on a baking sheet to freeze individually, then transfer to a freezer-safe container; safe for about 3 months.
- Reheat in an air fryer at 400°F for around 3 minutes, shaking halfway, to regain crispiness rather than using a microwave.
