Roasted Mini Potatoes are crispy and flavorful. They’re a quick and delicious side dish that requires minimal effort and yields excellent results!

When I did Whole30, the only things that would satisfy a carb craving were these baby roasted potatoes. I made them at least twice a week and they’re still my go-to veggie side dish!

Roasted Mini Potatoes go with just about everything, like this Air Fryer Pistachio Crusted Salmon, these Vegetarian Stuffed Peppers, and definitely these Bacon Mushroom Smothered Pork Chops!

They’re such an easy side dish made with minimal ingredients and will have the entire family asking for more. Sometimes simple recipes are best!

The Best Roasted Mini Potatoes

Slowly roasting the potatoes brings out their best flavor. It keeps them from drying out on the inside, while leaving them crispy on the outside.

Whenever I make this mini potato recipe, I throw them in about 30 minutes before I’m ready to start cooking dinner.

This is a great time to throw in a load of laundry or get a quick at-home workout in!

These mini potatoes may be small in size but they are exploding with flavor from the fresh chopped herbs! You’ll be surprised at how addicting they are.

Ingredients For Roasted Potatoes

To make these Mini Roasted Potatoes, you’ll need:

  • 1 lb mini potatoes
  • 2-3 cloves of garlic
  • rosemary
  • parsley
  • thyme
  • olive oil

Fresh herbs are best, but if you can’t get them, you can use dried herbs instead. Although, I highly recommend garnishing the potatoes with fresh chopped parsley!

How To Roast Baby Potatoes

1. Preheat the oven to 365 F.

2. Combine the ingredients. Toss the mini potatoes, garlic, rosemary, parsley, thyme, olive oil, salt, and pepper in a medium sized mixing bowl until the potatoes are fully coated.

3. Bake the potatoes. Add the potatoes to an 8-10” baking dish and cover with foil. Bake for 30-40 minutes.

4. Finish baking the potatoes. Remove the potatoes from the oven and toss them in the pan with a wooden spoon, increase heat to 450 F. Bake, uncovered, for an additional 10-15 minutes or until crispy and easy to poke with a fork.

Garnish them with fresh chopped parsley and serve!

What to serve with Mini Roasted Potatoes

Pair these Slow Roasted Tiny Potatoes with Pork Chops, Grilled Halibut, Slow Cooker Pulled Pork. I also love serving roasted potatoes alongside some fresh-made Salmon Cakes!

You know what else goes really well with these potatoes? Air Fryer Chicken! It’s so good and so juicy, you’ve got to try it.

I don’t know what I would have done if potatoes weren’t allowed in the Whole30 diet! They were pretty much the only thing I could eat that would completely satisfy me with dinner, but you don’t have to be on any sort of diet to enjoy these mini potatoes!

Some Questions You Might Have About Cooking Baby Potatoes

Are Baby Potatoes Healthy?

Potatoes are rich in vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants which are all great health benefits. Studies have even linked potatoes to some impressive health benefits like improved blood sugar control and reduced heart disease risk.

Even though potatoes are considered a starchy vegetable, they are high in fiber (when including the skin) and low in calories.

How Should I Store Baby Potatoes?

Baby potatoes like cool, dark places. So storing them in a mesh or paper bag in the refrigerator will keep them happy.

Plastic won’t allow the potatoes to breathe so if you brought them home from the store in one, just be sure to remove them before storing. Properly stored potatoes will last for 4-6 months!

What Is The Best Way To Cook Baby Potatoes?

I love roasting them because the skin gets super crispy, it’s like a better version of a french fry!

You can also boil baby potatoes with the skin on and mash them or make smashed potatoes.

      Hi Leslie, I wouldn’t recommend putting them in the olive oil more than 24 hours in advance. It will only take you about 5 minutes to put the oil and herb mixture together, but I understand each minute during Thanksgiving is precious!

      Yes, the times are different. Also, it says to put the potatoes in an hour before you start making dinner, but the potatoes take an hour or less to cook, so that means they would be done before you start cooking dinner.

    Do you first cook them in a glass baking dish at 365 for 45 min, and then move them to a metal pan to finish at 450?
    Is this because the glass dish retains moisture and the metal pan at higher heat allows crisping?
    Would you ever cover the glass dish? Would you ever do both processes on a metal pan?

    Reply
    • JZ Eats

      January 8, 2021 at 7:07 pm

      I do not switch pans but you can cook them in either baking dish! I have used both metal and glass when making this recipe. Fun fact – it was first developed a few years ago using a glass dish. Let me know if you have a preference on dish after making them, I’d love to know.

    This recipe did NOT cook the potatoes nearly enough, I would strongly suggest either boiling them first of increasing the cook time to at least an hour and 10 min at 365 then doing about 15-20 on 450.

    Curious if: (A) anyone has used parch paper either the whole time or for the crisping? and (B) whether anyone has tried elevating the babies on a mesh screen on a sheet pan???

      I personally haven’t, but I think parchment would be ok. Elevating them might dry them out a bit.

    PLS HELP! Second time making – the first time was very successful despute omitting garlic (IBS trigger ) and using dried herbs.THANK YOU! …NOW I need some advise for my second go. Rather than 365°F for initial roasting step, can I roast them lower at 325°F befoe increasing temp for fu al step? How would this lower temp affect the timing for this step before increasing temp & uncovering ? and increasing temp I’m roasting a turkey breast tenderloin that requires the an hour in a 325°F oven. Thanks in advance.

      Hi! I haven’t tried roasting them at that temperature, so I can’t say for certain – but I think they will just not be quite as crispy. I don’t think they will be a total flop though, and would be worth a shot if it helps make things easier while cooking the turkey! 🙂
