Herb Roasted Potatoes
- Deliciously seasoned with a blend of fresh herbs, adding an aromatic touch.
- Easy to prepare — perfect for busy weeknights or cookouts.
- Dietary-friendly: gluten-free, vegan, and packed with nutrients.
Ingredients
- Golden potatoes (2 lbs) – These provide the perfect crispy exterior and fluffy interior.
- Olive oil (3 tbsp) – For roasting and adding that delightful flavor.
- Fresh rosemary (2 tsp, finely chopped) – An aromatic herb that enhances the dish.
- Fresh thyme (2 tsp, finely chopped) – Adds earthiness and depth.
- Garlic powder (1 tsp) – A touch of garlic flavor without overpowering.
- Salt (to taste) – Enhances all the flavors.
- Pepper (to taste) – Adds a mild kick and seasoning balance.
How to Make
To prepare these herb roasted potatoes, start by preheating your oven to 425°F (220°C). Meanwhile, wash and cut the potatoes into evenly-sized wedges to ensure uniform cooking. In a large mixing bowl, combine the potato wedges with olive oil, rosemary, thyme, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Toss everything together until the potatoes are well-coated. Spread the potatoes in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, making sure there’s enough space between them for even roasting. Bake for about 25-30 minutes or until golden and crispy, flipping halfway through to ensure even browning. Once finished, let them cool slightly before serving.
Tips
- For extra crispiness, consider soaking the cut potatoes in cold water for 30 minutes before roasting.
- Feel free to swap herbs based on your preference; dill or parsley also work wonderfully!
- Using a variety of potatoes, like red and Yukon gold, can add a beautiful color variation.
Make-Ahead
You can prep the potatoes a day in advance. Just toss in the olive oil and seasonings, and store them in the fridge until you’re ready to roast them.
Storing
Store any leftover herb roasted potatoes in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.
Freezing
While it’s best to enjoy them fresh, you can freeze leftover roasted potatoes in a freezer-safe bag for up to 3 months. Just make sure they cool completely before freezing.
Reheating
Reheat in the oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 10-15 minutes until heated through. This will help restore their crispiness.
Serving Suggestions
Serve these herb roasted potatoes alongside grilled meats, in a salad, or as a savory snack on their own. Pair them with a creamy dip or a simple salsa for extra flavor!
