Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 2 pounds baby potatoes small-sized potatoes for better texture
  • 1/4 cup olive oil for roasting
  • 1 teaspoon salt adjust to taste
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper freshly ground for better flavor
  • 1 tablespoon fresh rosemary, chopped or other herbs as desired
  • 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped for added freshness
  • 1 tablespoon fresh basil, chopped to enhance flavor
  • 1/4 cup red onion, diced for sweetness and crunch
  • 2 tablespoons lemon juice freshly squeezed for best taste

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). The high heat is essential for achieving that crispy exterior.
  2. Rinse the baby potatoes under cold water. Halve them for quicker cooking and better texture.
  3. In a large mixing bowl, combine the halved potatoes, olive oil, salt, black pepper, rosemary, parsley, and basil. Toss until the potatoes are well-coated.
  4. Lay the seasoned potatoes on a baking sheet in a single layer to ensure even roasting.
  5. Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and roast for about 25-30 minutes, flipping the potatoes halfway through, until golden and crispy.
  6. Once cooked, remove the potatoes from the oven and fold in the diced red onion and lemon juice. The heat will slightly soften the onions, adding a beautiful contrast to the dish.
  7. Let it cool slightly before serving to allow the flavors to meld beautifully.

Notes

Feel free to swap out herbs according to your preference. Thyme or dill can offer a different flavor profile. Allowing the salad to cool before serving enhances the flavors.
