Weeknight dinners are tough. Especially in the winter. After working all day (and did I mention all the dishes I do before 3PM), the last thing I want to do is destroy the kitchen with loads of dishes that have to be cleaned….again.

So, I'm always looking for easy recipes to make for dinner but sometimes the side dishes get lost in the shuffle. I tend to grab a bag of frozen vegetables to dress up or just roast a baked potato but I really love a side dish that seems a little more decadent. These Oven Roasted Baby Potatoes are just that. Roasted to perfection but so insanely easy.

This easy roasted potato recipe is super simple and you can mix up the flavor by adding whatever herbs you have on hand. The simple roasting process yields the most buttery, melt-in-your-mouth tender potatoes with a crispy skin. They're positively addicting!

Oven Roasted Baby Potatoes

Whenever we go out to a steakhouse, there's sure to be a side dish of roasted baby potatoes available to order. They're the perfect accompaniment to our favorite Filet Mignon but they also go well with a roast chicken for Sunday dinner.

Baby Potatoes, also known as New Potatoes, are just any variety of potato that has been harvested before maturity. Most often you'll see baby red potatoes or baby yukon gold potatoes (my personal favorite!). They can also be called creamer potatoes and can be as small as marbles or as large as a golf ball.

How To Roast Baby Potatoes

My roasted baby potatoes recipe couldn't be simpler to make. I like to try and find potatoes that are about the same size so they all cook evenly at the same time. I find I have the best luck looking for baby potatoes in the bulk bin at the grocery store but if you don't have that as an option, just grab a bag of baby potatoes.

If your baby potatoes vary greatly in size, you can slice the larger potatoes in half to help even out the cooking time.

Toss your baby potatoes in a large bowl with olive oil, melted butter, finely minced garlic and chopped fresh herbs. I like to use rosemary and sage during the winter months but sometimes I'll use Thyme, oregano or fresh chives to mix things up.

Pour the potatoes and olive oil mixture into an oven safe baking dish, this is my absolute favorite baking dish for roasted new potatoes.

Roast your baby potatoes in a 350˚F oven for 45 minutes, tossing after 20 minutes to promote even browning. Your potatoes are done roasting when they're fork tender.

Sprinkle with more fresh herbs right before serving and sprinkle with a bit of sea salt or coarse kosher salt. Keep things simple when serving your roasted baby potatoes because once you bite into one you'll realize they're magical just as they are.

Sometimes I like to make my roasted baby potatoes with parmesan because they saltiness of the cheese is fantastic with the buttery potatoes.

What To Serve With Them

I love the versatility of this easy baby potato recipe because you can really serve them for any occasion from a casual Sunday dinner to a fancy pants dinner party. They're great alongside this Bacon Wrapped Filet Mignon or this easy Oscar Style Filet Mignon.

You can even serve them with a pile of baby back ribs or during the week with this easy Oven Baked Chicken Breast. There's really no limit to how often you can serve them….and kids LOVE them!
