Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 1.5 pounds medium fingerling potatoes, firm with smooth skins
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon fresh rosemary, chopped
  • 1 tablespoon fresh thyme, chopped
  • Sea salt, to taste
  • Black pepper, to taste

Instructions

  1. Prep Your Potatoes: Wash and dry the fingerling potatoes thoroughly. Leave them whole for bite-sized portions or slice them in half lengthwise for extra crispiness.
  2. Season to Perfection: In a large bowl, toss potatoes with olive oil, minced garlic, chopped fresh herbs, salt, and pepper until evenly coated.
  3. Arrange on Baking Sheet: Spread the potatoes in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or a silicone mat to prevent sticking and promote even browning.
  4. Roast and Flip: Place the tray in a preheated oven at 425°F (220°C). Roast for about 25-30 minutes, flipping the potatoes halfway through to ensure each side crisps up beautifully.
  5. Finish and Serve: Once golden and tender, remove from the oven and let cool slightly before serving. Add a final sprinkle of fresh herbs or sea salt if desired.

Notes

  • Choose uniform fingerling potatoes for even cooking and consistent texture.
  • Pat potatoes dry before oiling to achieve maximum crispiness.
  • Roast at high heat (425°F) to caramelize skins without drying the centers.
  • Flip potatoes halfway through roasting to prevent burning and ensure crisp crust all around.
  • Season generously with herbs and salt for the best flavor.
