Ingredients
  

  • (680g) 1.5 lbs Mini potatoes (baby potatoes)
  • 2 tbsp Olive oil
  • 2 cloves Garlic (minced)
  • 1 tsp Fresh rosemary (chopped)
  • 1 tsp Fresh thyme (chopped)
  • ½ tsp Paprika
  • ½ tsp Salt
  • ¼ tsp Black pepper
  • 2 tbsp Parmesan cheese (grated, optional)

Equipment

  • Baking sheet
  • Mixing bowl
  • Knife & cutting board
  • Measuring spoons

Method
 

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Prepare Potatoes: Wash and dry the mini potatoes. If some are larger, cut them in half to ensure even cooking.
  3. Seasoning Mix: In a mixing bowl, combine olive oil, minced garlic, rosemary, thyme, paprika, salt, and black pepper.
  4. Coat Potatoes: Add the potatoes to the bowl and toss until evenly coated with the seasoning mixture.
  5. Arrange on Baking Sheet: Spread the potatoes in a single layer on the baking sheet, ensuring they are not overcrowded.
  6. Roast: Place in the oven and roast for 20-25 minutes, flipping halfway, until golden brown and crispy.
  7. Optional Cheese: If using parmesan, sprinkle it over the potatoes in the last 5 minutes of baking.
  8. Serve: Remove from the oven, let cool slightly, and serve warm.

Notes

  • Variations: Add a pinch of chili flakes for a spicy kick or swap herbs for dried Italian seasoning.
  • Storage: Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat in the oven or air fryer for best texture.
  • Make Ahead: Parboil potatoes for 5 minutes before roasting to speed up cooking time.
