Why this recipe works

Herb roasted potatoes are a versatile side dish that go great with casual meals like my lemon thyme chicken thighs. But they also pair well with formal holiday meals too like Christmas and Easter.

They're also a quick and easy side dish to make, but still loaded with flavor thanks to a blend of herbs and roasted char from cooking in a hot oven. The texture is great too with a crispy exterior and soft, creamy interior. In fact, they're a great substitute for french fries!

What potatoes to use

For this crispy roasted potato recipe, I use small baby Yukon gold potatoes. They have a delicious creamy texture and crisp up beautifully. Any small potato will work though. You can use larger ones too, they'll just require a little extra cutting and an extra flip or two while cooking to get crispy and golden brown on all of the cut sides.

How to make herb roasted potatoes

The key to making the best herb-roasted potatoes is to put them all cut side down and place your oven rack in the lower third of your oven, closer to the heating element. This way they'll get super crispy on the bottom. Just don't put them at the very bottom or they'll likely burn!

  1. Place an oven rack in the lower third of your oven and preheat to 425°F
  2. Cut the potatoes in half and place them on a sheet pan.
  3. Drizzle with olive oil then season with rosemary, oregano, thyme, salt, and pepper and toss to combine. Arrange in an even layer cut side down
  4. Place in oven on rack in lower third and bake for 20-25 minutes until tender and crispy.

What to serve with your potatoes

These roasted baby potatoes with herbs go great with grilled or roasted meats such as a standing rib roast, grilled pork chops, chicken souvlaki, and roasted turkey breast. They're also a great substitute for french fries, and the leftovers are also perfect for making a breakfast hash with eggs and bacon!

Roasted Potato Variations:

  • These are great with just about any herbs you have, fresh or dried. Italian seasoning works great too.
  • Add lemon juice and minced garlic to the mix for a bright, tangy flavor.
  • To make garlic parmesan roasted potatoes add minced garlic and Parmesan cheese. This gives them an amazing flavor boost.
  • You can also cut bacon into 1-inch strips and add those to the pan with your potatoes before you pop them in the oven. About halfway through cooking flip the potatoes and bacon and add some shredded cheddar cheese.
