Roasted baby potatoes are a simple and satisfying dish. Just toss potatoes with oil and seasonings, then roast until browned and tender.
Simple Roasted Potatoes
2 pounds baby potatoes, halved
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 tablespoon canola or safflower oil
1/2 teaspoon sea salt or Kosher salt
1/8 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Place potatoes in 3-quart rectangular (13×9-inch) baking dish. Drizzle potatoes with olive and canola oil; stir to coat potatoes. Sprinkle with salt and pepper; stir. Bake 50 to 60 minutes until potatoes are tender and browned; stirring occasionally. If desired, sprinkle with fresh chopped herbs such as basil or Italian parsley.
Makes 6 servings
Tip: I like to use a blend of healthy oils when roasting potatoes, 1 tablespoon each of olive and canola oil. If you don’t have both oils on hand, use 2 tablespoons of your favorite cooking oil.
