Ingredients
Scale
Potatoes
- 1½ – 2 pounds small red potatoes
Seasoning
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped finely
- 2 teaspoons fresh thyme, chopped finely
- 2 teaspoons fresh rosemary, chopped finely
- ½ teaspoon kosher salt
- ½ teaspoon ground black pepper
Instructions
- Prepare Potatoes: Clean and cut potatoes in half or quarter them depending on their size for even cooking.
- Soak Potatoes: Place the cut potatoes in a bowl of water and let them soak for 30-60 minutes to remove excess starch, which helps achieve crispiness.
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) to ensure even roasting.
- Drain and Dry: Drain the potatoes from water and thoroughly pat them dry with paper towels to prevent sogginess.
- Arrange Potatoes: Spread the potatoes evenly on a baking sheet, ensuring they have some space between them for proper roasting.
- Oil Coating: Drizzle olive oil over the potatoes and toss them gently to coat evenly for crisp texture and flavor.
- Mix Seasoning: In a small bowl, combine garlic powder, fresh parsley, thyme, rosemary, kosher salt, and ground black pepper until well blended.
- Season Potatoes: Spoon the seasoning mixture over the oiled potatoes and toss again to ensure they are thoroughly coated with herbs and spices.
- Roast: Bake the seasoned potatoes in the preheated oven for 40-50 minutes or until they become fork-tender and golden brown, flipping halfway if desired for even browning.
- Serve: Remove from oven and serve the potatoes immediately while hot and crispy.
- Store Leftovers: Place any leftover roasted potatoes in an airtight container and store them in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
Notes
- Soaking potatoes helps remove excess starch for crispier results.
- Patting potatoes dry before roasting is essential to avoid sogginess.
- Use fresh herbs for the best flavor, but dried herbs can be substituted if needed.
- Adjust seasoning quantities to suit your taste preferences.
- For extra crispiness, consider turning the potatoes halfway through roasting.
- Leftover roasted potatoes can be reheated in an oven or air fryer to regain crispness.
