Oven Roasted Baby Potatoes take next to no effort, and are the ideal side dish for just about anything.
Tossed with olive oil and fresh herbs, you can have these easy potatoes are crispy on the outside, tender on the inside, and seasoned to perfection!
Ingredients You’ll Need
Baby Potatoes – You can use any color you prefer, or get the multi-colored ones for a more festive platter.
Olive oil – We generally use light olive oil, but if serving a meal with a heavy Mediterranean theme will go with extra virgin.
Fresh herbs – Thyme, rosemary and parsley. If you don’t have fresh, use ⅓ as much dried.
Other seasonings – Garlic powder, crushed red pepper, salt and pepper.
How to Roast Baby Potatoes
1. Prep the potatoes: Slice the potatoes in half and toss them with olive oil and seasonings. Place skin side down in a single layer on a lightly greased baking sheet.
2. Roast: Roast potatoes in an oven preheated to 425°F for 30 minutes. Flip them over, then return to the oven and bake for an additional 3-5 minutes.
Serving Suggestions
These potatoes are so versatile, they go with just about anything. Some suggestions…
Chicken Dishes: Coca-Cola Chicken, Harissa Chicken, Baked BBQ Chicken or Peri Peri Chicken.
Red Meat: Country Style Beef Ribs, Braised Pork Steaks, Chuck Roast, Lamb Kleftiko or Steak Bites.
Seafood: Mediterranean Baked Fish, Sockeye Salmon, Fish en Papillote or Salmon Patties.
Meatless: Greek Green Bean Stew, Spanish Pisto or Stuffed Portobello Mushrooms.
And don’t forget breakfast! These potatoes go great with omelets or just about any other savory breakfast dish.
Variations
- Make them Cheesy: Sprinkle grated Parmesan or your favorite cheese over the potatoes in the last 5 minutes of roasting.
- Spicy Twist: If you like a bit more heat, increase the amount of crushed red pepper, or add diced jalapeños or a dash of cayenne pepper to the seasoning mix.
- Lemon Herb Fusion: Add grated lemon zest and a squeeze of fresh lemon juice before serving.
- Bacon & Chive: Mix in crispy bacon bits and chopped chives before serving.
Storing and Reheating Leftovers
Leftover baby potatoes can be refrigerated in an airtight container or zip top bag for 4-5 days. Reheat in the oven at 300 degrees, or in an air fryer to crisp them back up.
Whip up an easy batch of these crispy baby potatoes, and experiment to find your favorite pairing. Personally, I can’t wait to try them with the Australian Curried Sausages we posted a few days back…
