Perfectly Roasted Garlic and Herb Potatoes

Ingredients:

• 1.5 pounds fingerling potatoes, sliced in half (substitute creamer or baby red potatoes if needed)
• 3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
• 2 teaspoons kosher salt
• ½ teaspoon black pepper
• ¼ cup loosely packed fresh parsley, finely chopped
• ¼ cup loosely packed fresh dill, finely chopped
• 2 cloves garlic, finely grated or finely chopped
• 1 tablespoon butter (optional)

Instructions:

1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
2. Prepare Potatoes: In a large bowl, combine the sliced potatoes, olive oil, salt, and black pepper. Toss until the potatoes are evenly coated.
3. Arrange and Roast: Transfer the potatoes to a sheet pan, arranging them in a single layer with the cut side facing down. This helps them become crispy. Roast in the oven for about 35 minutes, or until the potatoes are golden brown and fork-tender.
4. Add Herbs and Garlic: While the potatoes are still hot, transfer them to a bowl. Add the finely chopped parsley, dill, and garlic. If using, add the butter as well. Toss everything together until the potatoes are well-coated with the herbs and garlic.
5. Season and Serve: Taste the potatoes and adjust the seasoning with additional salt and pepper if needed. Serve immediately for the best flavor and texture.

Enjoy your flavorful and crispy roasted potatoes!
