Roasted baby potatoes are a versatile, crowd-pleasing dish, crispy on the outside, tender on the inside, and packed with flavor. Here’s a simple yet delicious guide to making them.
First, prep the potatoes: Wash 1.5 lbs of baby potatoes thoroughly. If small, leave them whole; if larger, halve or quarter them for even cooking. Pat them dry completely—this ensures crispiness!
Next, toss with seasonings. In a large bowl, combine the potatoes with 2 tbsp olive oil, 1 tsp salt, ½ tsp black pepper, and 1 tsp garlic powder. For extra flavor, add 1 tsp paprika, ½ tsp dried rosemary, or a handful of fresh thyme. Mix well until each potato is coated.
Spread the potatoes in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Overcrowding leads to steaming, so give them space! Roast at 400°F (200°C) for 25–30 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden brown and fork-tender.
For a final touch, sprinkle with flaky sea salt, fresh parsley, or grated Parmesan before serving. These potatoes pair perfectly with grilled meats, salads, or as a standalone snack. Enjoy your crispy, flavorful creation!
