Garlic Herb Roasted Potatoes are a delicious and easy-to-make side dish that elevates any meal with their perfect blend of garlic, fresh herbs, and baby potatoes.
Ingredients
Main ingredients
- 2 lbs baby potatoes (Yukon Gold, red, or fingerling), halved or quartered
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon fresh rosemary, chopped (or 1 teaspoon dried rosemary)
- 1 tablespoon fresh thyme, chopped (or 1 teaspoon dried thyme)
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese (optional) Add in the last 5 minutes of roasting for a cheesy finish.
- Fresh parsley for garnish (optional)
Instructions
Preparation
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or foil.
- In a large bowl, toss the halved or quartered potatoes with olive oil, minced garlic, rosemary, thyme, salt, and pepper until well-coated.
Cooking
- Spread the potatoes in an even layer on the prepared baking sheet, making sure they are not overcrowded.
- Roast in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, tossing halfway through, until the potatoes are golden brown and crispy on the outside and tender on the inside.
- If using Parmesan, sprinkle it over the potatoes in the last 5 minutes of roasting.
Serving
- Remove the potatoes from the oven and garnish with fresh parsley if desired. Serve hot.
Notes
These potatoes can be served as a standalone dish or paired with grilled meats, salads, or creamy dipping sauces. For best results, choose a mix of potatoes for varied textures and don’t overcrowd the baking sheet.
