 Ingredients Detail

In this delicious roasted potatoes recipe, we’ve used simple yet flavorful ingredients that are easily available in every kitchen.
Baby potatoes are the main star of this dish—they’re soft from the inside and get crispy from the outside when baked properly.
Garlic adds a rich and aromatic flavor that blends perfectly with the herbs.
We’ve used extra virgin olive oil, which not only helps in roasting but also gives a healthy touch with good fats.
Fresh herbs like rosemary, parsley, and thyme give this dish a beautiful fragrance and a fresh, earthy taste that takes the flavor to the next level.
A little kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper bring out the natural flavors of the potatoes, while
crushed red pepper flakes add a light spicy kick. These simple ingredients work together to create a warm, crispy, and herby side dish that you can enjoy with almost any meal.

How to Make Roasted Potatoes (Step-by-Step)

  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
  2. In a large bowl, add the baby potatoes, garlic, olive oil, rosemary, parsley, and thyme. Then add salt, black pepper, and red chili flakes. Mix everything well.
  3. Now take a big metal baking tray and spread the potatoes in one layer (don’t pile them).
  4. Put the tray in the oven and bake for 35 to 40 minutes — or until the potatoes become golden and soft from inside.
  5. Remove from oven, garnish with more herbs if you like, and serve hot!

Tips:

Don’t overcrowd the baking tray — space between potatoes helps them become more crispy. You can also add a little lemon juice before serving for extra flavor!
