These roasted baby potatoes are creamy in the center, and golden brown and crispy on the outside. Pair all that deliciousness with a dipping sauce made of mustard, horseradish, and mayonnaise and you have the perfect side dish or even a fun and unusual party appetizer!! YUM!!
If you've been on a potato-free diet (been there, done that), then close your eyes and pretend these are mushrooms instead. LOL. Just kidding.
The truth of the matter is that this roasted potato side dish will make you rethink that whole "doing without potatoes thing," and rightly so!

Why this recipe works:
These oven-roasted baby potatoes work wonderfully well as an easy to prepare and delicious side dish.
They're fast and easy to make. They only take a handful of ingredients. AND, everyone loves them!!
What are some additional fresh herb suggestions for making garlic-herb roasted potatoes?
- Dill
- Parsley
- Basil
- Oregano
- Tarragon
- Chives
- Cilantro
Should the fresh herbs be added before or after roasting the baby potatoes?
I like to do both. The addition of the fresh herbs while roasting the potatoes will infuse them with herby goodness.
A light sprinkling of freshly chopped herbs right before serving will liven and brighten up their flavor and intensity.

How to get the best results when oven roasting baby potatoes:
- When roasting potatoes (or even vegetables) in the oven on a baking sheet it's always a good idea to preheat the baking sheet first before adding the ingredients.
- This way the ingredients will get off to a great start even before they hit the hot oven!
Guess where this one went after I took the picture?!! Yep. You' guessed it! 😉
Doreen asks; "Can I make these garlic-herb roasted potatoes a day ahead of my party?"
Hi, Doreen!
I have made these ahead and then reheated them in the oven at 350-degrees for 10 minutes.
Before reheating, bring them to room temperature to ensure that they’re heated through quickly.
I do not suggest microwaving them to reheat. The oven will give you the crispy exterior you desire.
Great question. I hope this helps.
