I always opt for small potatoes; their size ensures even cooking and perfect crispiness in under 20 minutes—ideal for busy weeknight dinners.
Next grocery run, grab the smallest potatoes available. Sauté them in a pan with garlic and a blend of herbs like oregano, basil, rosemary, and thyme. Top with parmesan, add dots of butter, and finish roasting in the oven for melt-in-your-mouth perfection.
For 3 people - Preparation: 5 mins - Cooking: 30 min - Total time: 20 mins
- 500 g small potatoes
- 1 tablespoon of olive oil
- 2 cloves of garlic, minced
- 1/4 teaspoon of each of these aromatic herbs: oregano, basil, rosemary, thyme, sage
- ¼ teaspoon of salt (more or less according to taste)
- 2 pinches of paprika
- 140 g grated parmesan

- 30 g unsalted butter, cut into small cubes
1. Preheat your oven to 200°C. Clean and rinse the small potatoes. Dry them and cut them in half.
2. Heat an oven-safe frying pan (cast iron works best) and add the olive oil.
3. Add the potatoes and cook until crispy on the surface.
4. Continue cooking, turning frequently, until the skins are golden brown.
5. Push the potatoes into one corner of the pan. Add the garlic and sauté briefly. Stir in the herb mix, salt, and paprika. Mix well.
6. Turn off the heat and sprinkle with parmesan and parsley.
7. Transfer the pan to the oven and roast for 15 minutes.
8. Top with butter cubes and return to the oven briefly if needed.
Your crispy roasted potatoes with herbs and parmesan are ready to serve! Enjoy them hot with the family.
New potatoes work beautifully here. For larger ones, extend oven time to 20 minutes. Alternatively, toss everything together and roast directly on a baking sheet for 20 minutes.
