A simple and delicious side dish featuring new potatoes roasted to crispy perfection with herb-infused butter. Perfect for busy weeknights or last-minute gatherings.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1.5 pounds (700 grams) new potatoes, washed and halved
  • 4 tablespoons (60 grams) unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 tablespoon fresh rosemary, finely chopped
  • 1 tablespoon fresh thyme leaves
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced (optional)
  • Sea salt to taste
  • Freshly ground black pepper to taste
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • Optional: squeeze of lemon juice or lemon zest after roasting

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease with olive oil.
  2. Wash and halve the new potatoes so they are roughly the same size. Pat dry with a clean towel.
  3. Melt the butter gently in a small saucepan over low heat or in the microwave. Stir in minced garlic, chopped rosemary, and thyme. Let sit for 2 minutes off heat to infuse.
  4. Place the potatoes in a large mixing bowl. Drizzle olive oil and the herb butter mixture over them. Add sea salt and pepper to taste. Toss until every potato piece is evenly coated.
  5. Arrange the potatoes in a single layer on the baking sheet, cut side down if possible. Avoid overcrowding.
  6. Roast for 25-30 minutes, flipping the potatoes halfway through (around 15 minutes) to ensure even crisping. Potatoes are done when golden brown with crispy edges and tender inside.
  7. Optional: Sprinkle extra fresh thyme or a light squeeze of lemon juice over the potatoes before serving.

Notes

Dry potatoes thoroughly before roasting to ensure crispiness. Avoid overcrowding the pan to prevent steaming. Flip potatoes halfway through roasting for even browning. For dairy-free or vegan options, substitute butter with coconut oil or olive oil. Adding Parmesan cheese in the last 5 minutes of roasting adds a delicious crispy crust.
