Ingredients for Baby Herb Potatoes

  • Baby Red Potatoes
  • 4 tablespoons olive oil (or more, to coat potatoes)
  • Fresh Basil
  • Fresh Rosemary
  • Fresh Oregano
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced

How to Make Baby Herb Potatoes

  1. Wash and halve 1 lb baby potatoes.
  2. Boil potatoes in salted water until tender, about 15-20 minutes. Drain well and rinse with cool water to stop the cooking process.
  3. While potatoes boil, prepare the herb mixture: In a large skillet, heat 4 tablespoons olive oil over medium-low heat. Add 2 cloves minced garlic and 1/4 cup chopped fresh herbs (a mix of rosemary, thyme, and parsley is recommended). Cook for 2-3 minutes, until fragrant.
  4. Add the halved potatoes to the skillet with the herb mixture. Increase heat to medium and cook, stirring occasionally, for 8-10 minutes, until the potatoes are lightly browned and tender.
  5. Season generously with salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste.
  6. Serve immediately. Enjoy!

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Want to unlock deeper, more complex flavors? Try toasting your whole spices before grinding them, or blooming ground spices in a little warm oil to enhance their aroma. Deglazing your pan with a bit of stock, wine, or even water after browning ingredients can capture those tasty caramelized bits, adding richness to your dish.
