What seasonings to pair with Roasted Baby Potatoes

When it comes to seasoning roasted baby potatoes, the options are as diverse as your culinary imagination.

For a classic and aromatic touch, consider using a blend of minced garlic, fresh rosemary, thyme leaves, and chopped parsley.

This combination offers a harmonious mix of earthy and herbal flavors that perfectly complement the potatoes’ natural sweetness.

Alternatively, you can experiment with bold and spicy seasonings by incorporating smoked paprika, cayenne pepper, and cumin.

This fiery blend adds a kick to the dish, infusing each bite with layers of smokiness and heat, ideal for those craving a more adventurous flavor profile.

For a Mediterranean-inspired twist, try tossing the baby potatoes with a mixture of olive oil, lemon zest, dried oregano, and crumbled feta cheese.

The bright acidity of the lemon zest cuts through the richness of the potatoes, while the savory notes of oregano and feta create a satisfying depth of flavor.

For a taste of the tropics, consider coating the potatoes in a blend of coconut oil, curry powder, turmeric, and a pinch of cinnamon.

This exotic combination offers a delightful fusion of sweet, spicy, and aromatic flavors that transports your taste buds to distant shores.

With a world of seasonings at your disposal, roasting baby potatoes becomes an exciting culinary adventure, limited only by your creativity and palate preferences.

INGREDIENTS

• 1.5 pounds 680g baby potatoes
• 3 tbsp olive oil
• 1 tbsp fresh rosemary
• 1 tbsp fresh thyme leaves
• 1 tbsp parsley
• Salt and pepper to taste

INSTRUCTIONS 

Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) to ensure a perfect balance of crispy exteriors and tender interiors.

Wash and scrub the baby potatoes thoroughly, leaving the skins on for added texture and flavor.

In a bowl, combine olive oil, rosemary, thyme leaves, chopped parsley, salt, and pepper, creating a fragrant herb-infused seasoning mix.

Toss the baby potatoes in the seasoning mix, ensuring each potato is evenly coated for a blend of flavors.

Arrange the potatoes in a single layer on a roasting pan, allowing for optimal heat circulation and ensuring an even roast.

Roast in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes or until the potatoes are golden brown and crispy on the outside, and fork-tender on the inside.

For an extra level of crispiness, halfway through the roasting time, gently turn the potatoes to ensure all sides are evenly exposed to the herb-infused goodness.

Once out of the oven, sprinkle a bit more fresh parsley for a burst of color and an extra layer of herbal freshness.

How to Store and Reheat leftover Roasted Baby Potatoes

To properly store leftover roasted baby potatoes, allow them to cool completely at room temperature.

Once cooled, transfer them to an airtight container and refrigerate for up to three days. When ready to reheat, preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).

Spread the potatoes in a single layer on a baking sheet and bake for about 10-15 minutes until heated through.

This method helps retain the crispiness of the potatoes while ensuring they’re heated evenly. Avoid microwaving, as it can make the potatoes soggy.

With proper storage and reheating, you can enjoy the delicious flavors and textures of your roasted baby potatoes for another delightful meal.
