Roasted Potatoes With Herbs

November 28, 2024

Roasted potatoes with herbs are a timeless side dish that never goes out of style. Crispy on the outside, soft and fluffy on the inside, and infused with the fragrant flavors of fresh herbs, these potatoes are simple yet incredibly satisfying. They pair perfectly with just about anything, from roasted meats and grilled fish to vegetarian mains and hearty salads.

The key to perfect roasted potatoes is choosing the right variety. Yukon Gold, red potatoes, or baby potatoes work beautifully because they hold their shape while becoming wonderfully tender inside. They are cut into even pieces to ensure they cook evenly and roast up with beautifully golden, crispy edges.

The seasoning is straightforward but full of flavor. A generous drizzle of olive oil helps the potatoes crisp while locking in moisture. Fresh herbs like rosemary, thyme, and parsley combine with minced garlic, salt, and black pepper to create a fragrant and savory coating. As the potatoes roast, the herbs become slightly crispy, releasing their aromatic oils and infusing every bite with earthy, herbal goodness.

Once out of the oven, a sprinkle of flaky sea salt and a final toss with fresh herbs elevates them even more. You can also add a squeeze of lemon for brightness or a dusting of Parmesan cheese for extra flavor.

Roasted potatoes with herbs are incredibly versatile. Serve them alongside roast chicken, steak, salmon, or even eggs for brunch. They also pair beautifully with a crisp green salad or steamed veggies for a lighter meal.

As for drinks, these potatoes go wonderfully with just about anything—white wine, red wine, a cold beer, or sparkling water with herbs like mint or basil.

Simple, rustic, and full of flavor, roasted potatoes with herbs are proof that the best dishes often come from the simplest ingredients. Golden, crispy, and perfectly seasoned, they are a side dish that always steals the show.

    I don’t get why it says to roast for 30 mins, mine took almost an hour! Still, they were good.

    How long you gotta roast em? I left mine in too long and they burnt. Smelled good tho.

    1. User avatar ronald.schmitt says:

      Usually, about 30 minutes should do it! Just keep an eye on them after 25 minutes, they’re easy to burn!

  12. 3 stars
    Too much rosemary for me. I think next time I’ll use less and add some paprika instead.

    Too much rosemary for my taste. I almost choked on it! I’ll stick to plain potatoes next time.

    1. 4 stars
      I think the rosemary adds a nice flavor! Maybe just use less next time? 🤔

    2. User avatar gregoria.grant1951 says:

      Plain potatoes are boring! You should give it another try with less herbs. It’s about finding the right balance!

    Potatoes ayo but where’s the meat? Just sayin’!

  39. 3 stars
    I didn’t have any herbs, just salt and pepper. I guess they were okay but wouldn’t call ’em roasted potatoes. 3 stars.

  40. 2 stars
    Tried this recipe but my potatoes ended up squishy. Maybe I didn’t cook them long enough or used wrong potatoes? Not sure.

  41. User avatar kristopher.lowe26 says:

    Is this really 500 grams? I just used whatever I had and they turned out ok I guess.

    I think these were good but not great. I might try adding garlic next time. Anyone else try that?

    1. 5 stars
      Garlic sounds like a great idea! I always add it to roasted potatoes, really boosts the flavor. Try it out!

    I used sweet potatoes instead. This recipe still worked but didn’t taste as good. Should’ve gone classic.

    1. User avatar boyd.kris1962 says:

      Who even likes sweet potatoes anyway? Potatoes are the way to go! 🤷‍♂️

      Sweet potatoes are great, but yeah, the classic ones really hit different! Better luck next time!

  48. 4 stars
    I might add garlic next time. Just a suggestion. Anyone tried that?

  49. 3 stars
    What if I don’t have rosemary? Can I use something else? 🤔

    1. 4 stars
      You can use oregano or sage instead! They both work pretty well with potatoes. 😊

    2. User avatar marty.pagac75 says:

      3 stars
      I dunno, just leave it out! Potatoes are good on their own. 😜

    Didn’t have thyme so I used basil. Still went well. Potatoes are potatos, right? 🙂
