Servings: 8
Ingredients
- 1 teaspoon of salt and freshly ground black pepper
- ¼ cup of olive oil
- 3 pounds of small red new potatoes halved
Instructions
- Begin by assembling all your ingredients. Heat your oven to a robust 400 degrees F (200 degrees C), positioning the rack on the bottom level for optimal heat distribution.
- In glass bowls, have your ingredients neatly organized.
- In a mixing bowl, thoroughly combine the halved potatoes with olive oil, salt, and pepper, ensuring each piece is evenly coated.
- On a rimmed baking sheet, preferably a cookie sheet or jellyroll pan, lay the potatoes with their cut sides facing down.
- Place the sheet in the oven and roast the potatoes. They should take about 20 to 30 minutes to become tender and acquire a golden-brown hue.
- Once done, carefully remove the potatoes and place them in a serving dish, ready to be presented.
- Serve the beautifully roasted potatoes warm and enjoy the delightful, crispy texture coupled with a burst of savory flavors.
Notes
For perfect roasted potatoes, pick small ones and cut them the same size so they cook evenly. Make sure each potato is well-covered in oil for a crispy outside. Add fresh herbs like rosemary in the last 10 minutes to make them taste even better. Keep them spread out on the tray and turn them halfway to get them nice and crisp all around. Enjoy making this tasty side dish!
