  • Total Time: 50 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings

Ingredients

Potatoes

  • 1 pound baby potatoes, cut in half

Seasonings and Herbs

  • 3 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
  • 3-4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme, or 1 tablespoon fresh thyme leaves
  • 1 teaspoon dried rosemary or 1 tablespoon fresh rosemary leaves
  • ¼ cup fresh parsley, chopped

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 430 degrees Fahrenheit to ensure it’s hot enough to give the potatoes a crispy, golden finish.
  2. Mix Butter and Herbs: In a mixing bowl, combine the melted unsalted butter with the minced garlic, salt, black pepper, thyme, rosemary, and chopped fresh parsley. Stir well to create a flavorful garlic butter mixture.
  3. Toss Potatoes: Add the halved baby potatoes into the bowl with the garlic butter mixture. Toss everything together thoroughly so that each potato piece is evenly coated with the buttery herb mixture.
  4. Arrange for Baking: Spread the coated potatoes evenly on a baking pan or sheet pan. Make sure they are laid out in a single layer for even roasting.
  5. Bake: Place the baking pan in the preheated oven and roast the potatoes for 30 to 40 minutes, or until they develop a golden-brown, crispy exterior and are tender inside.
  6. Finish and Serve: Optional – toss with extra fresh herbs after roasting for a burst of fresh flavor. Serve warm as a savory side dish to complement your meal.

Notes

  • Add lemon zest, paprika, or chili flakes for extra flavor.
  • Lightly smash garlic cloves before mincing to intensify garlic aroma and taste.
  • Sprinkle flaky sea salt on top just before serving for added texture and flavor.
  • Reserve some fresh herbs to toss with potatoes immediately after roasting to enhance freshness.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 3-4 days. Reheat in the oven (10-15 minutes with a little butter) or microwave (1-2 minutes).
  • Avoid freezing potatoes as their texture can become grainy.
