Lightened-Up Roasted Baby Potatoes

Give me a main course that isn’t made better with perfect little roasted baby potatoes. Try me. They’re a total staple over here — popping up most Sundays with any of our grilled or smoked meats. That little crispy exterior, just enough herbs and seasonings– simple but so good. The boys dip theirs in ketchup, Ross eats his all sad and alone with a fork, I want mine thrown right into a huge salad or dipped in whatever green sauce I’ve got that week.

What You’ll Need for Lightened-Up Baby Potatoes:

• Baby yellow potatoes
• Olive oil
• Kosher Salt (to taste)
• Garlic powder
• Pepper
• Chili powder
• Paprika
• Any fresh or dried herbs you love

How to Make Roasted Baby Potatoes:

It’s about as simple as you’d expect. You’ll want to cut your baby yellow potatoes into halves or quarters depending on how big they are in the package. You want them to be bite-sized! 

Best Tools for Food Prep

My favorite way to chop up potatoes (or honestly any other choppy meal prep) is with my large end grain cutting board block and my Nakano knives.  Having a giant cutting board and good knives are a kitchen essential for every cook! It doesn’t hurt that they’re so pretty too. I leave the board on my counter every day by the sink so we can use it for ALL THE STUFF.

If you’re looking to upgrade your kitchen knives, I love my knives from Nakano. They’re an investment, but totally worth it in my opinion. I love their handmade Gyuto, and their Mikarta chef or Santoku knives. Also love their pull-through sharpener for keeping things new.

Time to Cook

Once your baby yellow potatoes are chopped into bite size pieces, spread them out onto a large sheet pan. Then, drizzle or spray the potatoes with 1 Tbsp of olive oil. This will come out to 15 grams. Sprinkle on Kosher Salt (to taste), garlic powder, pepper, chili powder, paprika, and any fresh or dried herbs you love.  Toss everything well and spread ‘em back out on your large sheet pan. Roast the seasoned bite sized baby yellow potatoes at 425° F for 30-35 minutes. Enjoy!
