Roasted Baby Potatoes
Description
Roasted Baby Potatoes are prepared by halving cleaned small potatoes and coating them evenly with olive oil and a blend of garlic powder, Italian seasoning, salt, and black pepper. Roasting on a parchment-lined baking sheet at 450°F creates crisp edges while keeping the centers soft and fork-tender. The seasoning blend is balanced to enhance but not overpower the potatoes' inherent flavor.
The method involves minimal stirring during roasting to maintain crispness and achieve even browning. Their relatively small size leads to a quick cooking time of about 20 minutes. These potatoes work well as a side dish for grilled or roasted meats, or as a simple standalone snack.
For seasoning variety, you can experiment with different herbs or spices to suit your taste preferences. Leftover roasted potatoes store well in the refrigerator for several days and can be frozen for longer-term storage. Reheating in the oven helps restore their crisp outer texture.
Ingredients
- 2 ½ pounds baby potato cleaned and cut in half
- ¼ cup olive oil
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- ½ teaspoon salt or to taste
- ½ teaspoon black pepper or to taste
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat oven to 450°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Season Potatoes: Place the baby potatoes on the prepared baking sheet and toss well with olive oil and seasonings, until coated on all sides.
- Roast: Transfer the baking sheet to the oven and roast for about 20 minutes or until fork tender and crispy on the outside.
Notes
- Make sure each potato piece is evenly coated with olive oil and seasonings for consistent flavor and browning.
- Avoid stirring the potatoes while roasting to ensure they develop a crispy exterior.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 3 to 4 days or freeze for up to 10 to 12 months.
