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
Garnish
- 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 ensure easy cleanup and prevent sticking.
- Season Potatoes: In a large bowl, combine the rinsed tiny red potatoes with olive oil, finely chopped garlic, salt, and freshly ground black pepper. Toss thoroughly so each potato is evenly coated with the seasoning mixture, enhancing flavor throughout.
- Roast: Spread the seasoned potatoes evenly on the prepared baking sheet in a single layer to ensure uniform roasting. Place in the oven and roast for about 20 minutes, checking for doneness by piercing a potato with a knife tip; it should be tender.
- Add Parsley: Remove the potatoes from the oven and transfer them into a large bowl. Toss with the fresh chopped parsley to add a bright, herbal note that complements the roasted flavors.
- Season and Serve: Taste the potatoes and adjust the seasoning with additional salt and black pepper if needed. Serve the roasted tiny red potatoes warm as a delightful side dish.
Notes
- For extra crispiness, you can increase the oven temperature to 425°F and roast for a few additional minutes, monitoring closely.
- Feel free to add other herbs like rosemary or thyme to customize the flavor profile.
- This dish pairs wonderfully with roasted meats, grilled vegetables, or a fresh salad.
- Leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days and reheated in the oven to maintain crispness.
