Ingredients
- Small potatoes - About 2 pounds, halved or quartered. I like baby golds or reds for their creamy texture and cute size.
- Olive oil - A drizzle before roasting and more for the dressing. Adds richness and helps with browning.
- Sea salt & black pepper - Don't skip this. Season generously!
- Garlic powder - Quick and easy flavor boost without chopping.
- Fresh herbs (thyme, oregano, parsley, or rosemary) - Use what you have! Fresh gives the best flavor but dried works too.
- Lemon juice & zest - Adds a bright, tangy kick that pairs so well with the potatoes.
- Dijon mustard - Just a little gives the dressing a nice zing.
- Garlic cloves - Minced fresh garlic deepens the flavor of the dressing.
- Red pepper flakes - Optional, but I love the little kick they add.

How To Make Oven Roasted Potatoes
- Preheat the oven: Set it to 425°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Season the potatoes: Toss the halved or quartered potatoes with olive oil, garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
- Roast: Spread them cut side down in a single layer. Bake for 30-40 minutes until golden and tender. Shake or flip halfway through if you like.
- Make the dressing: Whisk together 2 tablespoon olive oil, lemon juice + zest, Dijon mustard, minced garlic, chopped herbs, red pepper flakes, salt, and pepper.
- Dress the potatoes: Let them cool slightly, then toss with the dressing while still warm. You may not need all the dressing.
- Garnish: Sprinkle with fresh thyme or oregano. Serve warm!
Tips
- Cut potatoes evenly - For even roasting and consistent texture.
- Use convection bake - If your oven has it! This gives extra crispy edges but shortens cook time.
- Don't crowd the pan - Leave space around each piece so they roast, not steam.
- Place cut side down - Helps get that golden crisp exterior.
- Dress while warm - The warm potatoes absorb all the flavor best.
- Try different herbs - Basil, dill, or tarragon would also be tasty.
- Add cheese - Grated parmesan or crumbled feta is delish.
- Switch up the spice - Add smoked paprika, cumin, or Italian seasoning.
- Make it a meal - Toss in roasted chickpeas, tofu cubes, or serve over greens.
- Use up extra dressing - Great on roasted veggies, grain bowls, or even as a salad dressing.
What To Serve With Oven Roasted Potatoes with Herbs
These herby roasted potatoes go with just about anything. Here are a few of my favorites:
Freezing And Storing Instructions
- To Store. Keep roasted potatoes in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.
- To Freeze. I don't recommend freezing-they lose their texture.
- To Make Ahead. Chop the potatoes and mix the dressing 1 day ahead. Store separately.
- To Reheat. Use the air fryer or oven at 375°F until warmed and crisp again.

Roasted Potatoes: FAQs
I love using baby gold or red potatoes. They're creamy and roast beautifully.
YES! Use about ⅓ the amount of dried herbs in place of fresh.
Use convection if you can, don't overcrowd the pan, and roast cut side down.
