Ingredients

• 1.5 pounds Baby potatoes (or small Yukon Gold potatoes)
• 3 tablespoons Olive oil
• 3 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
• 1 tablespoon Fresh rosemary, chopped
• 1 tablespoon Fresh thyme, chopped
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper, freshly ground
• 0.5 teaspoon Smoked paprika
• 0.25 cup Parmesan cheese, freshly grated (optional)
• 1 tablespoon Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or foil for easy cleanup.

Step 2

Thoroughly wash and dry the baby potatoes. If the potatoes are larger, cut them into halves or quarters to ensure even cooking.

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, combine the olive oil, minced garlic, rosemary, thyme, salt, pepper, and smoked paprika. Stir until well blended.

Step 4

Add the potatoes to the bowl and toss until they are evenly coated with the herb and oil mixture.

Step 5

Spread the potatoes out in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring that there is space between each piece for proper roasting.

Step 6

Roast in the preheated oven for 25 minutes, then use a spatula to gently flip the potatoes. Continue roasting for an additional 10 minutes, or until the potatoes are golden brown and crispy on the outside.

Step 7

If using Parmesan cheese, sprinkle it over the potatoes in the last 5 minutes of roasting for a delicious cheesy crust.

Step 8

Once roasted, remove the potatoes from the oven and let them cool slightly. Garnish with chopped parsley before serving.

Step 9

Serve immediately as a side dish with your favorite protein or enjoy them on their own!
