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.
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. They’re the perfect side dish for BBQ chicken, fish, steak, burgers or any meal you may be planning for the holidays. I love these hot right out of the oven, but they’re also great to serve warm and make awesome leftovers.
Potatoes are simple, but that doesn’t mean they’re boring. I love how versatile a simple potato can be. Obviously you can roast them like these Herb Garlic Roasted Potatoes or like Crispy Smashed Potatoes. You can air fry them and make delicious Air Fryer French Fries. And of course every kid’s favorite – mashed potatoes like Mascarpone Mashed Potatoes, Yukon Gold Mashed Potatoes or Buttermilk Bacon Whipped Potatoes. Don’t forget Latkes too! I always have a bag of potatoes ready to go because you really can make them so many different ways. They’re a great go-to side.
You could use any small potato you wanted for this recipe, but I prefer Fingerling potatoes for this one personally. I like that they’re small and their skin holds up and gets crispy. The key to extra crisp on the outside and tender on the inside is to place all the potatoes cut side down on the baking sheet so they get golden brown and absolutely delicious!
Crispy Herb Garlic Roasted Potatoes are the perfect side dish for nearly any meal. Trust me! You’ll be making these weekly!

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.
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!)

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….
I tried this and used fresh oregano, basil, and tarragon and it was delicious. Thanks for the recipe!

I couldn’t find “Italian Herbs” in Whole Foods. Is it a mix or do you mean something else?
Roasted potatoes are a favorite around here. Can’t go wrong!
had them for dinner, turned out great, used russet potatoes cut in wedges. thanks for the recipe.
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!
Fingerling potatoes are sometimes hard to find where I live. Could I use redskins or baby yukon golds perhaps?
Yes you can, just cut into wedges 🙂
Can I use regular potatoes for that as well?
Nope, it would be just the same!
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?
