Ingredients
Scale
- 2 pounds (900 grams) new potatoes, small to medium size
- 3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 1 tablespoon fresh rosemary, finely chopped
- 1 tablespoon fresh thyme, finely chopped
- 3 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 teaspoon sea salt
- ½ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- ½ teaspoon smoked paprika (optional)
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions
- Rinse 2 pounds (900 grams) of new potatoes under cold water to remove any dirt. Cut larger potatoes in half for even cooking. (5 minutes)
- Place potatoes in a large pot, cover with cold water by about an inch, add a pinch of salt. Bring to a boil over high heat, then reduce to a simmer and cook for about 10 minutes until just tender but not falling apart. (10 minutes)
- Drain potatoes in a colander and gently shake to roughen the edges for crispiness. (2 minutes)
- Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C).
- In a large mixing bowl, combine olive oil, rosemary, thyme, garlic, sea salt, black pepper, and smoked paprika if using. Add potatoes and toss gently to coat evenly. (5 minutes)
- Spread potatoes evenly on a parchment-lined or silicone mat–lined baking sheet in a single layer without crowding. (2 minutes)
- Roast in preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, turning halfway through to crisp evenly. Look for golden edges and tender interior. (25-30 minutes)
- Transfer to serving dish, sprinkle with fresh parsley, and serve immediately for best crispiness. (2 minutes)
Notes
Parboiling the potatoes and roughing up the edges before roasting is key to achieving crispy texture. Avoid overcrowding the pan to prevent steaming. Turn potatoes halfway through roasting for even browning. If potatoes seem dry mid-roast, drizzle with an extra teaspoon of olive oil and toss lightly. For reheating leftovers, use a 400°F oven for 10-15 minutes to restore crispiness; avoid microwaving.
