Print Recipe Pin Recipe

Ingredients
  

  • INGREDIENTS:
  • 1.5 pounds baby or new potatoes
  • 2 to 4 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 cloves garlic minced or smashed
  • 1 teaspoon sea salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon dry parsley or Italian seasoning
  • Optional: fresh chives parsley, or dill for garnish
  • Optional: 2 tablespoons melted butter for added flavor
  • Optional: kosher salt for serving

Instructions
 

  • COOKING INSTRUCTIONS:
  • Preheat your oven to 425°F (218°C) to confirm it's hot enough for crispy roasting.
  • Wash the baby potatoes thoroughly and cut them into 1-inch chunks or cubes if they're larger than 1.5 inches.
  • Soak the chopped potatoes in cold water for about an hour to remove excess starch, which helps them become crispier when roasted.
  • After soaking, drain and dry the potatoes using a clean kitchen towel or paper towels.
  • In a large bowl, toss the dried potatoes with 2 to 4 tablespoons of olive oil, minced garlic, sea salt, black pepper, and dry herbs until they're evenly coated.
  • Spread the potatoes out in a single layer on a large rimmed baking sheet lined with parchment paper or a non-stick baking pan.
  • Roast in the preheated oven for 20 to 35 minutes, checking at the 20-minute mark for doneness. Toss the potatoes halfway through to confirm even browning.
  • Once the potatoes are golden brown and tender, remove them from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes.
  • Optional: Drizzle with melted butter and sprinkle with kosher salt before serving. Garnish with fresh herbs for a vibrant touch.
  • For the best results, remember to soak the potatoes before roasting, as this step is essential for achieving that desired crispiness.
  • Additionally, don't hesitate to experiment with different seasonings or add your favorite spices to customize the flavor profile. Enjoy your delicious roasted new potatoes as a delightful side dish that will impress your family and guests alike!
