Rosemary and Thyme Spiced Potatoes

After a long day of testing recipes, there’s nothing I crave more than a simple yet flavorful side dish that pairs well with almost anything. That’s how these Rosemary and Thyme Spiced Potatoes became a staple in my kitchen—easy to make, packed with flavor, and always a crowd-pleaser.

Instructions

2. Wash and dry the baby potatoes thoroughly. Cutting them in half speeds up cooking and increases surface area for crispiness.
3. In a large bowl, toss the potatoes with olive oil, rosemary, thyme, garlic powder, salt, and pepper until evenly coated. Tip: Letting them sit for 10 minutes before roasting enhances the flavor.
4. Spread the potatoes in a single layer on a baking sheet. Crowding the pan steams them instead of roasting.
5. Roast for 35-40 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden and crispy. Tip: A spatula is better than tongs to avoid breaking the potatoes.
