Ingredients
  

  • 3 pounds small red potatoes washed and halved
  • ¼ cup extra virgin olive oil
  • 4 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 tablespoon fresh rosemary chopped (or 1 teaspoon dried)
  • 1 tablespoon fresh thyme leaves or 1 teaspoon dried
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • ½ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • ½ teaspoon paprika optional, for color and flavor
  • 2 tablespoons fresh parsley chopped (for garnish)

Method
 

  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and adjust the oven rack to the lowest position for optimal heat circulation.
  2. Thoroughly wash the red potatoes and cut them in half. For larger potatoes, cut them into quarters to ensure even cooking. Pat them dry with paper towels - this is crucial for achieving maximum crispiness!
  3. In a large bowl, combine olive oil, minced garlic, rosemary, thyme, salt, pepper, and paprika if using.
  4. Add the halved red potatoes to the bowl and toss until they're evenly coated with the oil and herb mixture.
  5. Transfer the potatoes to a large rimmed baking sheet, making sure to arrange them in a single layer with the cut sides down. Give them plenty of space - overcrowding will make them steam rather than roast!
  6. Place the baking sheet on the bottom rack of the preheated oven and roast for 30-35 minutes, or until the potatoes are golden brown on the outside and fork-tender on the inside.
  7. For extra crispiness, broil on high for the final 2-3 minutes, watching carefully to prevent burning.
  8. Remove from the oven and sprinkle with fresh chopped parsley before serving.
