Garlic Roasted Baby Potatoes
Description
The recipe calls for tiny baby potatoes, approximately one inch in diameter, or cutting larger ones into uniform bites to ensure even cooking. Tossing them in olive oil, fresh thyme and rosemary leaves, garlic powder, onion powder, kosher salt, and freshly cracked black pepper creates a flavorful coating that crisps up during roasting at 450°F. The high temperature and careful tossing result in potatoes with crispy skins and tender interiors.
The potatoes roast on a foil-lined pan for about 30 minutes until tender when pierced. Finishing with fresh parsley adds color and a mild herbal note. Serving them immediately preserves their crisp texture. They pair well with grilled or pan-seared meats such as steak or pork chops for a rustic side dish.
To maximize flavor and crispness, use extra virgin olive oil generously and strip fresh herbs from stems before finely chopping. Fresh herbs contribute significantly to the dish’s aroma and taste. Proper uniformity in potato sizing ensures consistent cooking results.
