Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1.5 lbs fingerling potatoes washed, dried, and halved lengthwise
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 3 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 tbsp fresh rosemary chopped
  • 1 tsp fresh thyme chopped
  • 1 tsp coarse sea salt or to taste
  • 0.5 tsp black pepper freshly cracked

Equipment

  • 1 Baking sheet
  • 1 Large Bowl

Instructions
 

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. In a large bowl, combine the halved fingerling potatoes, olive oil, minced garlic, chopped rosemary, thyme, salt, and pepper. Toss well to ensure the potatoes are evenly coated.
  3. Spread the potatoes in a single layer on a large baking sheet, placing them cut-side down. Do not overcrowd the pan.
  4. Roast for 25-30 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden brown, crispy, and tender.
  5. Serve immediately, garnished with a little extra fresh herbs if desired.

Notes

For Extra Crispy Potatoes: Ensure your potatoes are completely dry before tossing with oil and seasonings. Moisture is the enemy of a crispy finish.
Storage: Leftover roasted potatoes can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
