Description

These crispy roasted baby potatoes are tossed in garlic, fresh rosemary, and olive oil, then baked to golden perfection. A classic, no-fail side dish that pairs well with any main course!


Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 1 1/2 lbs baby potatoes, halved
  • 3 tbsp olive oil
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tbsp fresh rosemary, chopped (or 1 tsp dried)
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper
  • 1/4 tsp red pepper flakes (optional, for a little heat)
  • 1 tbsp unsalted butter, melted (optional, for extra richness)
  • Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • Prepare potatoes: In a large bowl, toss the halved baby potatoes with olive oil, garlic, rosemary, salt, pepper, and red pepper flakes (if using).
  • Arrange on baking sheet: Spread the potatoes in a single layer, cut-side down for maximum crispiness.
  • Roast for 30–35 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden brown and crispy.
  • Finish & serve: Drizzle with melted butter (if using) and garnish with fresh parsley. Serve hot!

Notes

  • For extra crispiness: Soak the potatoes in cold water for 15 minutes before roasting, then pat dry.
  • Swap the herbs: Try thyme or oregano instead of rosemary.
  • Add cheese: Sprinkle with grated Parmesan in the last 5 minutes of roasting.
  • Make it zesty: Add a squeeze of lemon juice before serving.
