Instructions

  1. Step 1: Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). Place 1.5 lbs halved baby potatoes in a large mixing bowl.
  2. Step 2: In a small saucepan over low heat, melt 4 tbsp unsalted butter. Stir in 1 tbsp finely chopped fresh rosemary, 1 tbsp finely chopped fresh thyme, 3 minced garlic cloves, and 1 tsp lemon zest. Cook for 2 minutes until fragrant, then remove from heat.
  3. Step 3: Pour the warm herb butter over the baby potatoes. Add 1 tsp salt and 1/2 tsp black pepper, tossing gently to coat every piece.
  4. Step 4: Spread the potatoes in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Roast for 30-35 minutes, flipping halfway through, until potatoes are golden and crispy on the edges.
  5. Step 5: Remove from oven and sprinkle 2 tbsp chopped fresh parsley over the potatoes. Serve hot as a flavorful side dish.
