Ingredients
☐ 3 pounds yellow potatoes, washed and halved
☐ 6 tablespoons olive oil
☐ 4 cloves garlic, minced
☐ 2 teaspoons dried rosemary (or 4 teaspoons fresh rosemary, chopped)
☐ 2 teaspoons dried thyme (or 4 teaspoons fresh thyme leaves)
☐ Salt, to taste
☐ Black pepper, to taste
☐ Fresh parsley, chopped, for garnish (optional)


Ingredients
Directions
Preheat your oven to 425°F. Line two large baking sheets with parchment paper or lightly grease them with cooking spray.
● In a large mixing bowl, combine the halved yellow potatoes, olive oil, minced garlic, rosemary, thyme, salt, and black pepper. Toss until every potato is evenly coated with the herb and garlic mixture.
● Using a BBQ brush or spoon, brush any remaining garlic and herb mixture from the bowl over the cut sides of the potatoes so none of the flavorful seasoning goes to waste.
● Arrange the potatoes in a single layer, cut-side down, on the prepared baking sheets. Leave a little space between each potato so they roast instead of steam.
● Roast for 35–40 minutes, or until the potatoes are fork-tender and the cut sides are deep golden brown and crispy.
● Remove the potatoes from the oven and sprinkle with fresh chopped parsley, if desired.
● Serve immediately while hot with your favorite main dishes such as steak, chicken, pork, seafood, or grilled vegetables.

RECIPE TIPS
-
Cut the potatoes into similar-sized halves so they roast evenly and finish cooking at the same time.
-
Place the potatoes cut-side down on the baking sheet. This creates a beautifully golden, crispy crust while keeping the inside fluffy and tender.
-
Don't overcrowd the pan. Give each potato a little space so they roast instead of steam. If needed, use two baking sheets.
-
Use fresh garlic if possible. Freshly minced garlic provides the best flavor and aroma, but jarred minced garlic works well for convenience.
-
Fresh herbs add even more flavor. If you have fresh rosemary or thyme available, use them for a brighter, more fragrant finish.
-
Season generously. Potatoes soak up salt, so taste one after roasting and sprinkle with a little more salt if needed before serving.
-
Finish with fresh parsley and a sprinkle of Parmesan. A little chopped parsley adds freshness, while grated Parmesan creates an extra savory finish.
-
Serve immediately. Garlic Herb Roasted Potatoes are at their crispiest right out of the oven and pair perfectly with steak, chicken, pork, seafood, burgers, or holiday dinners.
Storage
-
Refrigerator:
Allow the potatoes to cool completely, then store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. -
Freezer:
Freeze the cooled potatoes in a freezer-safe container or zip-top freezer bag for up to 3 months. For best results, freeze them in a single layer first, then transfer them to a storage bag to prevent sticking. -
Reheating:
For the crispiest potatoes, reheat them in a 400°F oven or air fryer for 8–12 minutes until hot and crispy. You can also microwave them for 1–2 minutes, though they won't be as crisp. -
Make Ahead Tip:
Wash and halve the potatoes up to 24 hours in advance and keep them submerged in cold water in the refrigerator. When ready to cook, drain, pat completely dry, season, and roast as directed. This makes dinner prep quick and easy while still giving you perfectly roasted potatoes.
🔥 Reheating Instructions
-
Oven (Best Method):
Preheat your oven to 400°F. Spread the potatoes in a single layer on a baking sheet and bake for 8–12 minutes, or until heated through and crispy around the edges. -
Air Fryer:
Place the potatoes in a single layer in the air fryer basket and cook at 375°F for 5–7 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through, until hot and crispy. -
Skillet:
Heat a tablespoon of olive oil or butter in a skillet over medium heat. Cook the potatoes for 5–8 minutes, stirring occasionally, until heated through and crisp on the outside. -
Microwave (Quickest Method):
Place the potatoes on a microwave-safe plate and cover loosely with a damp paper towel. Heat in 30-second intervals until warmed through, about 1–2 minutes. The potatoes will be soft but won't retain their crispy texture. -
From Frozen:
Bake frozen potatoes at 400°F for 15–20 minutes, or air fry at 375°F for 10–12 minutes, until hot and crispy. There's no need to thaw them first.
