I had to make and roast these again, as the potatoes were too good for boiling or steaming and my love of roasted/jacket potatoes got in the way! And rightly so! The outcome was gooooood! I didn’t want to peel them and roast them in the usual way but instead wanted to serve them as mini mini jacket potatoes with a crisp skin, that I just adore!
Again such a versatile ingredient and so cute and small that there was no need to parboil them. Just straightforward oil, garlic and herb coating and roast til perfection.
I also made hasselback potatoes but this time a healthier version with olive oil and not butter. We enjoyed both types with mature Cheddar cheese omelettes and freshly boiled veg!
INGREDIENTS
500g mini baby potatoes
2 tbsp olive oil
3 garlic cloves
1 tsp dried oregano
salt to taste
METHOD
• Preheat oven to 190°c and pour the oil into a baking tray lined with foil, place in the oven to warm the oil through
• Meanwhile prep by scrubbing the potatoes and pierce each of them
• Take the baking tray out of the oven, add the oregano and crushed garlic, mix into the oil
• Gently place in all the mini potatoes, sprinkle salt all over them and massage the oil into the skins with the herbs and garlic too
• Roast in the oven for 40-50 minutes until the potatoes are nice and crispy and golden on the outside and super fluffy on the inside
Love potatoes cooked this way.
Thank you Jovina! Have a lovely weekend!
Yummy Dimple! Garlic potatoes is awesome :).
Thanks Sonal..They were indeed!

Thanks! I really wish technology would hurry up so we can have lovely smells wafting out of our screens lol!
Yeah. I read this beautiful quote somewhere ” I won’t be impressed with technology until I can download food”
Excellent! 🙂
I love new potatoes and the deliciousness of roasted potato skin! These look and sound delicious!
Thank you very much Laura…I adore roasted potato skin!
The skin on the roasted potatoes look perfectly crisped Dimple, and they sound perfectly seasoned too! Delicious 🙂 It looks like your a pro with hasselback potatoes – I can’t believe how perfectly even your cuts are! Very nice!

Potatoes represent “confort food”, they never bore me… even if they are just boiled… but here you did better… roasted with garlic??? It’s a dream!

This is my favorite way to make baby red potatoes. I frequently add in whatever herb I’m in the mood for and have in the garden.
I must try other herbs! 🙂
