Oven Roasted Baby Red Potatoes
Description
Oven Roasted Baby Red Potatoes begin with cutting potatoes into mostly uniform pieces and parboiling them until just tender. This step ensures the interior will be soft while roasting crisps the exterior.
After parboiling, the potatoes are gently tossed in extra light olive oil, pressed garlic, dried parsley, sea salt, and freshly ground black pepper. Baking them cut side down at 425°F crisps the exposed surfaces, forming a golden-brown crust that contrasts with the creamy interior texture.
The flavor is straightforward but enhanced by garlic and dried parsley, giving a mild savory and herby profile. The potatoes can be served as a versatile side dish alongside roasted meats or vegetables. Garnishing with fresh dill can add brightness if desired.
Ingredients
- 3 lbs red potatoes unpeeled, baby
- 2 Tbsp extra light olive oil
- 1 1/2 tsp dried parsley
- 1 tsp sea salt or 3/4 tsp table salt
- 1/2 tsp black pepper freshly ground
- 2 cloves garlic pressed
Instructions
- Cut potatoes into 1" to 1 1/2" pieces. We didn't cut the really tiny taters. Place them in a large pot half full with warm water. Bring potatoes to a boil and cook for 7-9 minutes (they should be almost cooked) Drain, cover to keep warm, and set aside
- In a small bowl, mix together 2 Tbsp olive oil, 2 pressed garlic cloves, 1 1/2 tsp dry parsley, 1 tsp sea salt (or 3/4 tsp table salt) and 1/2 tsp black pepper.
- Gently Toss potatoes with the seasoning mix until evenly coated (it helps to use a large mixing bowl for tossing).
- Transfer potatoes to a large rimmed, non-stick baking pan and place cut side down. Bake at 425° for 20 minutes or until the sides facing the pan are golden. Transfer to a serving bowl, garnish with chopped fresh dill if desired and serve.
