  4. Step 4: Spread the seasoned potatoes evenly on a baking sheet in a single layer.

Tips & Variations

  • For extra crispiness, soak the cut potatoes in cold water for 30 minutes before seasoning, then pat dry.
  • Substitute fresh herbs with 1 teaspoon each of dried rosemary and thyme if fresh is unavailable.
  • Add a pinch of smoked paprika for a subtle smoky flavor.

Storage

Store leftover roasted potatoes in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, place them in a 400°F oven for 10–15 minutes until heated through and crispy again.

How to Serve

The image shows a metal baking sheet filled with halved roasted potatoes. The potatoes have two main colors: a golden yellow, soft inside with some herbs sprinkled on top, and a golden-brown charred outer skin that adds texture. Some potatoes show grill marks, giving a darker, striped pattern on their surfaces. Scattered fresh green rosemary sprigs lie on and between the potatoes, adding a pop of green and a fresh look. The metal baking sheet has some baked-on seasoning bits and slight browning where the potatoes rested, all set on a white marbled texture. photo taken with an iphone --ar 4:5 --v 7
