How to Make Herb-Roasted Baby Potatoes
- Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.

- Once done, remove from the oven and sprinkle with fresh parsley and rosemary, if using. Serve warm.

- Experiment with herb combinations to find your favorite flavor profile.
Easy Variations
- Add a sprinkle of Parmesan cheese during the last 5 minutes of roasting for a cheesy twist.
- Toss in some sliced bell peppers or onions for added color and flavor.
- Use different herbs like basil or dill for a unique taste.
What to Serve With It
