Ingredients
  

2 pounds baby potatoes (Yukon Gold or red skin)

3 tablespoons olive oil

3 cloves garlic, minced

1 tablespoon fresh rosemary, chopped

1 tablespoon fresh thyme, chopped

1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped

1 teaspoon sea salt (adjust to taste)

½ teaspoon black pepper

½ teaspoon paprika (for added color and flavor)

Zest of 1 lemon

2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese (optional, for garnish)

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Start by preheating your oven to 425°F (220°C). This high temperature will help to achieve a crispy exterior while keeping the inside fluffy.

    Prepare the Potatoes: Wash the baby potatoes thoroughly and pat them dry. You can leave them whole or halve them if they are larger for more even cooking.

      Make the Herb Oil: In a large mixing bowl, combine the olive oil, minced garlic, chopped rosemary, thyme, parsley, sea salt, black pepper, paprika, and lemon zest. Stir until all the herbs and spices are well-blended into the oil.

        Coat the Potatoes: Add the potatoes to the bowl and toss them in the herb oil mixture until they are fully coated. Ensure every potato is generously covered in the flavorful oil.

          Arrange on Baking Sheet: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup. Spread the potatoes out in a single layer, ensuring they have some space between them for optimal roasting.

            Roast the Potatoes: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and roast for about 25-35 minutes or until the potatoes are golden brown and crispy. Halfway through the cooking time, stir them gently to ensure even browning.

              Garnish and Serve: Once the potatoes are cooked through and beautifully roasted, remove them from the oven. If desired, sprinkle with grated Parmesan cheese while they are still hot. Serve immediately, garnished with a few extra fresh herbs if you'd like.
