Ingredients

• 1.5 pounds baby potatoes, halved
• 3 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
• 2 teaspoons fresh thyme leaves (or 1 teaspoon dried thyme)
• 2 teaspoons fresh parsley, chopped
• 1 cup tomato sauce
• 1 clove garlic, minced
• 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)

How to Make Herb-Infused Roasted Baby Potatoes

1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
2. In a large bowl, combine the halved baby potatoes, olive oil, salt, black pepper, and thyme. Toss until the potatoes are well coated.
3. Spread the seasoned potatoes in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, cut side down for extra crispiness.
4. Roast in the preheated oven for about 25-30 minutes, or until the potatoes are golden brown and tender when pierced with a fork.
5. While the potatoes are roasting, prepare the tomato sauce. In a small saucepan, heat a drizzle of olive oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant.
6. Add the tomato sauce and red pepper flakes (if using) to the saucepan. Simmer for about 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally.
7. Once the potatoes are done, remove them from the oven and transfer to a serving dish. Drizzle the tomato sauce over the potatoes and sprinkle with fresh parsley before serving.

Tips for the Best Results

• For extra flavor, consider adding a squeeze of lemon juice over the potatoes just before serving.
• Ensure the potatoes are cut uniformly for even cooking.
• If you prefer a crispier texture, broil the potatoes for an additional 2-3 minutes after roasting.

Easy Variations

• Swap out thyme for rosemary or oregano for a different flavor profile.
• Add grated Parmesan cheese on top of the potatoes during the last 5 minutes of roasting for a cheesy twist.
• Incorporate other vegetables like bell peppers or zucchini, tossed with the potatoes for a colorful medley.

What to Serve With It

• Grilled chicken or fish for a complete meal.
• A fresh green salad for a light and healthy option.
• Roasted meats, such as pork or beef, complement the potatoes beautifully.

Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in the oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 10-15 minutes to regain crispiness. Alternatively, you can microwave them for a quicker option, though they may lose some texture.
