Equipment

  • 1 baking sheet
  • 1 large mixing bowl
  • 1 measuring cups and spoons
  • 1 cutting board
  • 1 oven mitts
  • 1 serving dish

Ingredients
  

  • 2 lbs baby potatoes
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon dried rosemary or fresh, chopped
  • ½ teaspoon paprika optional
  • Fresh parsley to taste chopped for garnish

Instructions
 

  • Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
  • Wash the baby potatoes thoroughly under cold water and pat them dry. If they're larger than a golf ball, halve them; otherwise, leave them whole.
  • In a large mixing bowl, combine the olive oil, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, dried rosemary, and paprika (if using). Stir well to create a marinade.
  • Add the baby potatoes to the bowl, tossing them in the marinade until all are evenly coated.
  • Spread the coated potatoes onto a baking sheet in a single layer to ensure they roast evenly.
  • Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and roast for about 25 minutes, or until the potatoes are golden brown and tender when pierced with a fork.
  • Remove the potatoes from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes. Garnish with fresh parsley before serving.
  • For added flavor, you can include lemon zest or grated Parmesan cheese after baking.
  • Feel free to experiment with different herbs like thyme or oregano based on your preference.
  • These roasted baby potatoes pair wonderfully with grilled meats, fish, or as part of a spring salad.
