Ingredients
Scale
Potatoes
- 12 mini potatoes
Seasoning
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon dried rosemary
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) to ensure it is hot and ready for baking the potatoes.
- Prepare Potatoes: Wash the mini potatoes thoroughly under cold water and dry them well. Pierce each potato a few times with a fork to allow steam to escape during baking.
- Make Seasoning Mixture: In a large bowl, mix together the olive oil, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and dried rosemary until well combined.
- Coat Potatoes: Add the mini potatoes to the bowl and toss them in the oil and seasoning mixture until each potato is evenly coated with the flavorful blend.
- Arrange and Bake: Place the coated potatoes on a baking sheet in a single layer. Bake them in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes or until they are fork-tender and have a golden-brown, crispy skin.
- Cool and Serve: Remove the baking sheet from the oven and let the potatoes cool slightly for a few minutes before serving warm.
Notes
- For extra crispiness, you can increase olive oil slightly or broil the potatoes for the last 2 minutes but keep a close watch to avoid burning.
- Mini potatoes can be substituted with baby Yukon Gold or red potatoes for varied flavor and texture.
- Feel free to experiment with fresh herbs like thyme or parsley instead of dried rosemary.
- These potatoes make a great accompaniment to grilled meats, fish, or a fresh green salad.
