Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 1 lb baby gold potatoes Tender and creamy with a naturally sweet flavor.
  • 3 tbsp extra-virgin olive oil Adds richness and helps achieve a crispy texture.
  • 1 tbsp kosher salt Enhances overall flavor.
  • 1 tsp ground black pepper Provides a subtle warmth.
  • 4 cloves whole garlic Minced garlic infuses the potatoes with robust flavor.
  • 2 tbsp chopped fresh chives or parsley Optional for serving; adds color and freshness.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C) and prepare a baking dish with parchment paper.
  2. Cut the baby gold potatoes into halves or quarters and transfer them to the prepared baking sheet.
Cooking
  1. Drizzle the potatoes with olive oil, then sprinkle with half of the kosher salt and black pepper; toss to coat evenly.
  2. Place the potatoes cut-side down in the baking dish and roast for 35 minutes until golden and cooked through.
  3. Remove from the oven, toss the potatoes with minced garlic, spread them evenly, and rotate the pan 180 degrees. Bake for an additional 5 to 10 minutes until fully golden and crispy.
Serving
  1. Toss the roasted potatoes with the remaining kosher salt and chives before serving them hot.

Notes

For best results, use uniform-sized potatoes, do not overcrowd the baking dish, and add garlic midway to prevent bitterness.
