4.4 from 90 reviews

This Herby Roast Potatoes recipe features golden, crispy potatoes roasted to perfection with fragrant fresh herbs and olive oil, making for a simple yet flavorful side dish perfect for any meal.

Ingredients

Scale

Potatoes

  • 2 pounds potatoes, peeled and cut into chunks

Herbs and Seasonings

  • 2 tablespoons fresh rosemary, chopped
  • 2 tablespoons fresh thyme leaves
  • Salt, to taste
  • Black pepper, to taste

Oil

  • 3 tablespoons olive oil

Instructions

  1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) to ensure it’s hot enough to crisp the potatoes.
  2. Prepare the Potatoes: Peel and cut the potatoes into even chunks to ensure uniform roasting. Rinse them well to remove excess starch.
  3. Parboil the Potatoes: Place the potato chunks in boiling salted water and cook for about 5-7 minutes until slightly tender but not fully cooked. Drain well and let them dry briefly.
  4. Toss with Oil and Herbs: In a large bowl, toss the parboiled potatoes with olive oil, fresh rosemary, thyme, salt, and black pepper until evenly coated.
  5. Roast the Potatoes: Spread the potatoes out in a single layer on a baking sheet. Roast in the preheated oven for about 40-45 minutes, turning occasionally, until they are golden brown and crispy on the outside.
  6. Serve Warm: Remove from the oven and serve immediately while hot and crispy as a delicious side dish.

Notes

  • Parboiling potatoes before roasting helps achieve a fluffy interior and crispy exterior.
  • You can substitute fresh herbs with dried ones, but fresh herbs provide the best flavor.
  • For extra crispiness, use a roasting pan or preheat the baking sheet.
  • Feel free to add garlic cloves or paprika for added flavor.
