Why You’ll Love This Golden Herb Roasted Baby Potatoes Recipe

These roasted baby potatoes are everything you want in a side dish: easy to make, packed with flavor, and versatile enough for any meal. The herbs give them an aromatic depth while olive oil and garlic bring that irresistible savoriness. They also reheat beautifully, making leftovers just as delightful.

Can I Use Different Types of Potatoes?

Yes! While baby potatoes are preferred for their creamy texture and ease of prep (no peeling!), you can also use fingerlings or even cut-up Yukon Golds. Just make sure the pieces are similar in size so they roast evenly. The important part is that you get that crispy outer layer and soft interior, which happens best at high heat.

Ingredients for the Golden Herb Roasted Baby Potatoes

This simple recipe uses pantry staples and a handful of fresh herbs to create something truly special. The result is deeply flavorful potatoes with a crispy edge and soft center.

• Baby potatoes
• Olive oil
• Garlic cloves
• Fresh rosemary
• Fresh thyme
• Salt
• Black pepper

The baby potatoes are the heart of this dish, small and tender with naturally creamy flesh. A generous drizzle of olive oil helps crisp the edges and carry the flavor of the herbs. Garlic cloves add a rich aromatic base, while rosemary and thyme infuse everything with earthy, woodsy tones. A touch of salt and black pepper ties it all together with balance.

How To Make the Golden Herb Roasted Baby Potatoes

Step 1: Prep the Potatoes

Preheat your oven to 425°F. Wash and dry the baby potatoes thoroughly. If any are large, cut them in half for even cooking.

Step 2: Toss with Flavor

In a large bowl, toss the potatoes with olive oil, minced garlic, chopped rosemary, thyme, salt, and pepper. Make sure every potato is evenly coated.

Step 3: Arrange and Roast

Spread the potatoes on a baking sheet in a single layer. Roast in the oven for about 30 to 35 minutes, stirring once halfway through to ensure even browning. They should be golden and crispy outside, fork-tender inside.

Step 4: Serve Warm

Transfer the roasted potatoes to a serving dish and garnish with extra fresh herbs if desired. Serve immediately while they’re hot and crisp.

How to Serve and Store These Roasted Potatoes

These roasted potatoes are best served fresh out of the oven, when they’re at their crispiest and most fragrant. They make a generous side for about 4 to 6 people, depending on portion sizes and what else you’re serving.

To store leftovers, let the potatoes cool completely before transferring to an airtight container. They’ll keep in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. Reheat them in the oven or air fryer to bring back their crispiness. Microwaving works in a pinch but may make them a bit softer.
