Ingredients

  • 2 lb. small new potatoes
  • 4 garlic cloves, minced
  • 2 Tbsp. olive oil
  • 1/2 tsp. salt
  • 1/4 tsp. pepper
  • 1/4 tsp. thyme
  • 1/4 tsp. rosemary
  • 1/4 c. chopped fresh parsley

Instructions

  1. Combine all ingredients except parsley in a bowl.
  2. Toss to coat the potatoes evenly with the seasoning mixture.
  3. Place the coated potatoes in a single layer on a sheet of heavy-duty foil.
  4. Fold the foil over the potatoes and crimp the edges to seal completely.
  5. Place the foil packet on a cookie sheet and bake at 375°F for about 1 hour or until potatoes are tender.
  6. Open the foil and sprinkle with chopped fresh parsley before serving.

Tips & Substitutions

For best results, choose small, uniform new potatoes for even cooking. You can substitute olive oil with avocado oil for a different flavor. Fresh herbs can be swapped according to your preference; try dill or basil if you don't have thyme or rosemary. If you prefer a crispy texture, open the foil packet for the last 10-15 minutes of baking.

Serving Suggestions

These roasted new potatoes make an excellent side dish for grilled meats or fish. They pair beautifully with Liza's Lentil Soup for a hearty meal or can complement a fresh salad, such as Zesty Vegetable Salad. For a complete Mediterranean-inspired dinner, serve alongside a refreshing Basic Herb Vinaigrette drizzle.

Storage & Reheating

Leftover roasted potatoes can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. To reheat, place them in a single layer on a baking sheet and warm in a preheated 350°F oven for 15-20 minutes, or until heated through. This method helps retain their texture and flavor.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I use larger potatoes for this recipe?

Yes, larger potatoes can be used, but they will require longer cooking time. Cut them into smaller pieces to ensure they cook evenly and become tender like the smaller new potatoes.

What if I don't have fresh herbs?

If you don't have fresh herbs, you can use dried herbs instead. Use about one-third the amount of dried herbs compared to fresh, as their flavors are more concentrated. Just be sure to adjust to taste.

Can I prepare this dish in advance?

You can prep the potatoes with the seasoning and store them in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours before cooking. Just keep them covered to avoid oxidation. Bake them right before serving for the best flavor and texture.
