Ingredients
Scale
Potatoes
- 1 pound tiny red potatoes, rinsed
Seasoning
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- ½ teaspoon salt
- Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
- 4 cloves garlic, finely chopped
- ¼ cup chopped parsley
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat the oven to 400°F (204°C) and place the oven rack in the center position. Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and make cleanup easier.
- Toss Potatoes with Seasoning: In a large bowl, combine the rinsed tiny red potatoes with olive oil, finely chopped garlic, salt, and freshly ground black pepper. Toss thoroughly to ensure every potato is evenly coated with the seasoning for optimal flavor.
- Arrange and Roast: Spread the seasoned potatoes evenly in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Roast them in the preheated oven for 20 minutes, or until they are tender when pierced with a knife tip, which ensures they are cooked through.
- Add Fresh Parsley: Carefully remove the baking sheet from the oven and transfer the roasted potatoes to a large serving bowl. Toss them with the chopped parsley to introduce a fresh and vibrant herbal note.
- Season and Serve: Taste the potatoes and add more salt or freshly ground black pepper if needed. Serve the potatoes warm as a savory side dish to complement your main course.
Notes
- For extra crispiness, you can increase the roasting time by 5-10 minutes, but watch closely to avoid burning.
- Feel free to substitute parsley with other fresh herbs like rosemary or thyme for different flavor profiles.
- This recipe works well with other small varieties of potatoes if tiny red potatoes are unavailable.
- To save time, garlic powder can be used instead of fresh garlic, though fresh garlic provides the best flavor.
- Make sure the potatoes are similar in size to ensure even cooking.
