    Perfect Roasted Baby Potatoes with Rosemary

    These garlicky and herb-roasted baby potatoes are made with a combination of mixed baby potatoes, simple herbs, and spices. The baby potatoes are cut into nice bite-sized pieces.

    So if you like roasted baby creamers that are flavorful with a buttery garlic taste, are tender inside, and have crispy edges, please read on!  Let's talk about all the ingredients used in this recipe.

    Roasted Baby Potatoes with Rosemary and Garlic

    Ingredients

    Potatoes go well with any seasoning; there is no right or wrong way to do it. Basically, you can throw any of your favorite spices and herbs together and season the potatoes with a great result.

    For this recipe, I chose some aromatic spices and herbs for seasoning, such as rosemary and garlic.

    Here's the list of ingredients you'll need to make this roasted baby potatoes recipe.

    • Mixed baby potatoes. Also known as little potatoes or baby creamers. I purchased the baby potatoes from Costco. These baby potatoes are come in similar sizes, thin-skinned, and don't need to be peeled before cooking. For that reason, they are great for roasting or boiling. Baby potatoes have a delicate, slightly sweet flavor and a creamy texture. In addition, these baby potatoes are easy to prepare for roasting. I just need to cut them in half and bake or roast them in the oven.
    Roasted Baby Potatoes with Rosemary and Garlic
    • Garlic. Garlic is one of the most important seasoning ingredients to make this aromatic roasted baby potato recipe.
    • Rosemary. I used fresh rosemary to add aromatic fragrances and mild savory flavors to the potatoes.
    • Ancho Chili Pepper. I added a small amount of ancho chili pepper to give the potatoes a nice deep red color and a touch of sweet flavor without adding extra heat. The ancho chili pepper also adds another layer of flavor to the dish.

    • Cheese. You can use Pecorino or Parmesan cheese to add a cheesy and salty flavor to the dish. Pecorino is one of the most widely used cheeses and is a sharper alternative to Parmesan cheese. It works really well for grating cheese over pasta, or bread, or as a topping inside or atop baked products. You can find Pecorino cheese at any grocery market. I personally purchased mine from my local Trader Joe's. If you only have parmesan cheese in your fridge, feel free to use it for this recipe.
    • Fresh parsley. I used chopped fresh parsley to garnish. This fresh herb brightens the presentation and flavor of the potatoes.  

    How to Clean Potatoes

    It's very important to clean the potatoes before peeling or cooking them. Washing them before cooking is a crucial step to remove any dirt and/or bacteria.

    • Soak the potatoes in lukewarm or cool water for 15-30 minutes. Do not use any soap, bleach, or chemical cleaner.
    • Scrub potatoes with a vegetable scrubber in a circular motion.
    • Remove any green spouts and hidden dirt.
    • Rinse to wash away any surface debris.
    • Drain well with paper towels.

    How to Roast Baby Potatoes with Rosemary and Garlic

    Step 1. Prepare the Potatoes and Preheat the Oven

    • Clean, dry, and wash the baby potatoes in half.
    • Preheat the oven to 400°F.

    Step 2. Season the Potatoes and Roast

    • In a large bowl, mixed potatoes and the seasoning, except the cheese and garlic.
    • Transfer the seasoned potatoes to a sheet pan and roast for 15 minutes.

    Step 3. Add Cheese and Garlic

    • Carefully remove the hot sheet pan from the oven.
    • Add minced garlic and cheese, and toss to coat.
    • Put the sheet pan back in the oven and roast for an additional 15 minutes or until fully cooked and crisp.
    • Remove the potatoes from the oven and toss them with fresh parsley.

    Tips to Make the Perfect Roasted Baby Potatoes

    • Garlic. Because potatoes take a long time to cook, make sure you add the garlic after you've roasted the potatoes for about 15 minutes. If you cook the garlic with the potatoes for the full duration they will likely burn.
    • Cheese. Also, be sure to add the pecorino cheese about 15 minutes before the cooking is completed so they do not burn.
    • No peeling. The skin on baby potatoes is very thin. There is no reason to peel it before cooking as long as the potatoes are washed and cleaned.

    How to Store Leftovers

    Discard any leftover cooked potatoes that have been left out for more than 2 hours at room temperature or 1 hour when the temperature is above 90°F. You can learn more here.

    • Let the roasted baby potatoes cool to room temperature before refrigerating.
    • Place them in an airtight container. Properly stored, the leftover will last 3-4 days in the fridge or up to 3 months in the freezer.

    How to Reheat Roasted Potatoes

    Here's how to reheat the roasted potatoes and get them crisp up again:

    • Preheat the oven to 400°F.
    • Place the leftover roasted potatoes in a sheet pan.
    • Drizzle with a small amount of oil and stir.
    • Cover the sheet pan with foil and reheat until warm.
    • Remove the foil and cook it a bit longer until they are crispy and hot.
