Ingredients
2 pounds baby potatoes, halved
3 tablespoons olive oil
4 cloves garlic, minced
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1 teaspoon dried thyme
Zest of 1 lemon
2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
2 tablespoons fresh dill, chopped
1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes (optional)
Instructions
1. Wash and scrub the baby potatoes thoroughly, then pat them dry and cut each in half for even roasting.
2. In a large bowl, combine olive oil, garlic, salt, pepper, oregano, thyme, and lemon zest. Add potatoes and toss until well coated.
3. Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment or grease lightly. Spread potatoes cut-side down in a single layer.
4. Roast for 35–40 minutes, flipping halfway through, until crispy and golden brown.
5. Remove from the oven and immediately toss with chopped fresh parsley and dill.
6. Garnish with extra herbs and serve hot with your favorite dip or as-is.
Notes
Use a preheated baking sheet for extra crispiness on the cut side of the potatoes.
Always dry the potatoes completely before seasoning to avoid steaming instead of roasting.
Fresh herbs added after roasting make a major difference—don’t skip them.
