Ingredients
– 2 pounds of baby potatoes (I usually go for the multi-colored ones for that vibrant look!)
– 4 tablespoons olive oil
– 4 cloves garlic, minced
– 1 teaspoon dried thyme
– 1 teaspoon dried rosemary
– 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
– Salt and pepper to taste
– 1 cup shredded cheese (I love a mix of cheddar and mozzarella for that gooey goodness)
– Fresh parsley for garnish (optional, but I highly recommend it!)
Equipment Needed
– Baking sheet
– Mixing bowl
– Sharp knife
– Cutting board
– Measuring spoons
– Spatula or tongs
Step-by-Step Instructions
First, preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). As the oven warms up, I like to wash my baby potatoes thoroughly and cut them in half. The freshness of the potatoes is so important; you can practically taste it in the final product! In a mixing bowl, toss the halved potatoes with olive oil, minced garlic, thyme, rosemary, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper until they’re completely coated. The aroma at this stage is irresistible!
