Main Ingredients
- 1 pound tiny red potatoes, rinsed
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- ½ teaspoon salt
- Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
- 4 cloves garlic, finely chopped
- ¼ cup chopped parsley
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat the oven to 400°F (204°C) and position the oven rack in the center. Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
- Season Potatoes: In a large bowl, combine the rinsed tiny red potatoes with olive oil, finely chopped garlic, salt, and freshly ground black pepper. Toss thoroughly to ensure each potato is evenly coated with the seasoning and oil, which helps develop flavor and promotes even roasting.
- Roast: Spread the seasoned potatoes in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet to allow even cooking. Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and roast the potatoes for about 20 minutes, or until they are tender when pierced with a knife tip.
- Add Parsley: Once roasted, remove the potatoes from the oven and transfer them to a large bowl. Add the chopped fresh parsley and toss gently to distribute it evenly, infusing the dish with a fresh, vibrant aroma and taste.
- Season and Serve: Taste the potatoes and adjust the seasoning with additional salt and black pepper if needed. Serve the roasted tiny red potatoes warm as a delicious and versatile side dish.
Notes
- Using tiny red potatoes ensures the potatoes roast quickly and evenly without needing to be chopped.
- Make sure to spread the potatoes in a single layer for the best roasting results and maximum browning.
- Fresh garlic provides a sharp, robust flavor; alternatively, garlic powder can be used in a pinch.
- Chopped parsley adds freshness, but you can substitute with other fresh herbs like thyme or rosemary for a different flavor profile.
- This recipe pairs well with grilled meats, roasted chicken, or a vegetarian main course for a wholesome meal.
