Crispy on the outside and fluffy on the inside, these Herb-Roasted Potatoes are an irresistible side dish your family will love.
My family loves roasted potatoes. Are we having grilled chicken for dinner? Throw some roasted potatoes on the side. Ordering pizza? Roast some potatoes before it arrives. Snack craving? Let’s make some roasted potatoes. And why not have some roasted potatoes for dessert? Yes, we love them that much.
But as the cook of the family, I can’t bring myself to make the same dish over and over. I need to spice things up. Or, in this case, herb things up. In this recipe, I’m going green with my favorite herbs: rosemary, thyme, oregano, and parsley. I feel fresher just typing those words! It’s an easy way to transform a dish without ruining what you already love about it.
Are Herb-Roasted Potatoes Healthy?
Potatoes are rich in vitamin C and potassium, while herbs boast a wealth of nutrients. We cook them in olive oil, which is a healthy fat. It’s a simple recipe featuring all-natural ingredients, so you can enjoy them as part of a vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, dairy-free, or Whole30 diet.
What Other Ways Can You Cook Potatoes?
There are countless ways to cook potatoes—and just as many types to choose from, like red, sweet, baby, russet, and Yukon gold. Beyond roasting, you can mash, air-fry, stuff, slow-cook, or scallop them. And this isn’t even scratching the surface of all the different ingredients and toppings you can cook alongside them!
How To make ahead and store
Let your potatoes cool completely, then store them in an airtight container. Keep them in the fridge for no longer than 1 week. You can also freeze them if you want to keep them around longer, though I wouldn’t do so any longer than 2 months. To reheat, let the potatoes thaw overnight in the fridge, then warm them in the oven (if you want to try to retain the crispness) or microwave them (if time is a factor).
Serving Suggestions
These herb-roasted potatoes make a fantastic side dish for almost any main course. Serve them alongside a juicy Lemon Roasted Chicken or a grilled steak for a classic pairing. For breakfast, try them as a savory companion to Scrambled Eggs With Cottage Cheese or a Spinach Frittata. No matter the meal, these potatoes bring that herby, golden-brown goodness to the table!
