Ingredients
  

2 pounds baby potatoes (Yukon Gold or red potatoes)

4 tablespoons olive oil

6 cloves garlic, minced

1 tablespoon fresh rosemary, chopped

1 tablespoon fresh thyme, chopped

1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped

1 teaspoon salt (or to taste)

1 teaspoon black pepper

½ teaspoon smoked paprika (optional for a smoky flavor)

Zest of 1 lemon (for brightness)

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 425°F (220°C). This will ensure a crispy exterior for the potatoes.

    Prepare the Potatoes: Wash the baby potatoes thoroughly under running water, then cut them in half or quarters, depending on their size. Ensure the pieces are roughly the same size for even cooking.

      Mix the Marinade: In a large mixing bowl, combine the olive oil, minced garlic, rosemary, thyme, parsley, salt, pepper, smoked paprika, and lemon zest. Stir well until all ingredients are incorporated.

        Coat the Potatoes: Add the halved potatoes into the bowl with the herb mixture. Toss them gently until all pieces are coated evenly with the oil and herbs.

          Arrange for Roasting: Spread the coated potatoes out in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Make sure there’s enough space between the potatoes to allow them to brown nicely.

            Roast in the Oven: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and roast for about 30-35 minutes, or until the potatoes are golden brown and fork-tender. Halfway through the cooking time, give them a gentle toss to ensure even roasting.

              Finishing Touches: Once roasted, remove the potatoes from the oven, and let them cool for a few minutes. Garnish with additional fresh herbs, if desired, and serve warm.

                Enjoy: These Herb Roasted Garlic Potatoes make a perfect side dish to any main course or can be enjoyed alone as a flavorful snack!
