Ingredients
Scale
Potatoes
- 1 lb baby potatoes, uniform size preferred
Herb Butter Mixture
- 4 tbsp unsalted butter, melted
- 2 cloves fresh garlic, minced and finely chopped
- 2 tbsp fresh rosemary, chopped fine
- 2 tbsp fresh thyme, chopped fine
- Salt to taste, adjust preference
- Black pepper to taste, adjust preference
Instructions
- Prep: Wash and dry the baby potatoes thoroughly to ensure they roast evenly and the seasonings stick properly.
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) to create the ideal roasting temperature for crispy, golden edges.
- Mix Herb Butter: In a bowl, combine the melted unsalted butter with the minced garlic, fresh chopped rosemary, fresh chopped thyme, salt, and black pepper. Stir well to blend all the flavors together.
- Coat Potatoes: Toss the cleaned baby potatoes in the herb butter mixture, making sure each potato is evenly coated for maximum flavor.
- Roast: Spread the coated potatoes evenly on a baking sheet in a single layer. Roast in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy on the outside, stirring once halfway through for even cooking.
Notes
- Choose baby potatoes of uniform size to ensure even cooking.
- For extra crispiness, you can parboil the potatoes for 5 minutes before coating.
- Adjust herb quantities to your personal taste or experiment with other herbs like parsley or oregano.
- Serve immediately for best texture and flavor.
