Ingredients
- 2-3 tbsp olive oil
- 3 medium cloves garlic, smashed
- 2 lb baby yellow potatoes, such as yukon gold, sliced in half
- 1 tsp kosher salt
- 1/4 cup chopped fresh herbs,
Instructions
- Heat oven to 450F. Place your roasting pan in the oven as it heats.
- Gently warm the olive oil with the smashed garlic. Heat the oil until the garlic is sizzling a little and begining to brown. Scoop out the garlic and either discard or set aside for later if you want more garlic flavor.
- (While you make the garlic oil, prep the potatoes.) Toss the prepped potatoes with the garlic oil and the kosher salt.
- Add them to the hot roasting pan and roast for 10 minutes.
- Stir and turn and roast for 10-12 more minutes, or until tender inside and browned outside.
- Remove the roasting pan from the oven and transfer to a bowl.
- Toss the potatoes with the chopped herbs. (If you want to add the garlic, mince the reserved smashed garlic and add it to the bowl. Mix well.)
Notes
- Chopped Fresh Herbs: I used a mix of parsley, thyme, oregano, and rosemary. Feel free to use a mix of whatever herbs you like with potatoes and have available, though I would recommend using at least some parsley in the recipe.
- Preheating the Roasting Pan: Preheating the pan makes the potatoes much less likely to stick and helps them brown more.
- Browning: The side of the potatoes in direct contact with the roasting pan will get the brownest so turn them cut side down if you want them to be a deep golden brown.
- Make Ahead: You can prep the potatoes the day before. Once you have halved them, put them in cold water and keep them in the refrigerator. Also, you can make the the garlic oil the day before. Let it cool, then transfer it to a sealed container to keep overnight.
