# What You Need:

# How to Make It:

01 - Preheat the oven to 425°F and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
02 - In a large bowl, combine halved fingerling potatoes, olive oil, minced garlic, rosemary, thyme, salt, and pepper. Toss to ensure even coating.
03 - Spread the potatoes in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, placing the cut sides down to enhance crispiness.

05 - Remove from oven and immediately toss the hot potatoes with finely chopped fresh parsley.
06 - Serve warm as a side accompaniment.

# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • They're ready in 40 minutes, which means you can plan a whole dinner around them without stress.
  • The crispy cut sides develop this incredible caramelized flavor that makes people ask for seconds.
  • Fresh herbs make the kitchen smell like you've actually planned something thoughtful, even if you threw it together last minute.
02 -
  • Flipping matters more than you think—the side that sits still becomes deeply caramelized, while the other side stays pale, so rotate them halfway.
  • Don't wash the potatoes too vigorously after cutting; a light rinse is fine, but soaking removes starch that you actually need for crispiness.
03 -
  • Pat the potatoes dry after cutting and before tossing with oil—excess moisture steams them instead of crisping them.
  • If your oven runs cool, bump the temperature to 450°F and check around 22 minutes instead of waiting the full 30.
