Oven Roasted Baby Red Potatoes
These oven roasted baby red potatoes are parboiled before roasting to achieve a tender interior with a crisp, golden exterior. Tossed in a blend of olive oil, fresh herbs like rosemary and thyme, smoked paprika, garlic, and sea salt, they develop complex, savory flavors. The parboiling step ensures even cooking, while roasting concentrates the herbs' aroma and creates a pleasing texture contrast. Garnished with fresh dill, this is a versatile side dish that pairs well with meats or spring vegetables.

Notes
- Parboil potatoes to achieve tender insides and crispy outsides when roasted.
- Add vinegar to boiling water to help potatoes retain texture during parboil.
- Line baking sheet with sprayed aluminum foil to prevent sticking and promote crispness.
- Optionally toss potatoes with flour and cornstarch for a crunchier crust.
- Use a metal baking pan rather than glass for more even roasting.
- Keep potato chunks uniform in size for even cooking.
