Herb Garlic Roast Potatoes
Getting dinner on the table as fast as possible with the least amount of effort (but with the maximum amount of flavor) is my mission as a mom. Since potatoes are inexpensive, healthy and, of course, delicious, they help make my job that much easier. These Herb Garlic Roast Potatoes are a fail safe recipe that I guarantee will join your weekly rotation of favorites! The zip of the garlic powder and dried herbs really pull together the creamy inside and crunchy outside of the potato. They’re the perfect accompaniment BBQ chicken, fish, steak, burgers or any meal you may be planning for the holidays. I love them right out of the oven, but they’re also great to serve warm and make awesome leftovers. Easy? Mission accomplished!

Sounds like an amazing dish and such an easy recipe. Do you think it would be any different if I was to toss everything together in a zip lock bag and then dump it on the pan to cook?
Nope, it would be just the same!
Can I use regular potatoes for that as well?
Yes you can, just cut into wedges
Fingerling potatoes are sometimes hard to find where I live. Could I use redskins or baby yukon golds perhaps?
Ooh, I’m going to try this soon! But at first blush: Smiley and Jill, something tells me you can get away with just about any potato you like. Baby Yukon golds would probably be really good!
Darcy: I like the Ziploc bag idea better than tossing them in a bowl. Easier to contain the mess and one less thing to wash later!
had them for dinner, turned out great, used russet potatoes cut in wedges. thanks for the recipe.
Roasted potatoes are a favorite around here. Can’t go wrong!
I couldn’t find “Italian Herbs” in Whole Foods. Is it a mix or do you mean something else?
I tried this and used fresh oregano, basil, and tarragon and it was delicious. Thanks for the recipe!
I love this idea. Would just like to point out that potatoes are one of Environmental Working Group’s “Dirty Dozen”, meaning its one of the top 12 foods susceptible to pesticide contamination. While organic potatoes do cost more, little minds and bodies are very vulnerable to pesticide exposure….

we make these but after sprinkling with spices, i press each potato into freshly grated parm…bake on a well lubricated cookie sheet (kids like em soft, hubby likes em crunchy…i like em all!)
Just made these with dinner tonight and my 13mo old is cramming them in her mouth faster than I can put them on her plate! She loves them.
love it but could you use a different oil?
I really adore this work. It definitely opened my eyes about this topic. Can’t wait to tell the girls. Thanks!
We’ve made these twice now, using regular vegetable oil and doubling the garlic (we love garlic around here!!). Delicious, and easy!
