Roasted Mini Potatoes Recipe

These roasted mini potatoes require minimal effort but yield excellent results. There's no peeling or chopping and the cooking time is mostly hands-off meaning you can prepare another dish, do a quick workout, or kick back while they're in the oven. Roasting them brings out the most delicious crispy exterior and fluffy center. They're a crowd-pleaser so they're great for serving to the whole family or to company.

Are mini potatoes healthy?

Many people wonder if potatoes are healthy and the answer is, yes! They're a vegetable and they're loaded with vitamins and nutrients. Keeping the skin on plays an important role; adding extra nutrients but also fiber that keeps blood sugar levels in check. Skip the fries and prepare them using healthy cooking methods like roasting or baking to enjoy all the benefits.

Tips for making the best roasted mini potatoes

  • Choosing potatoes – mini potatoes (also known as creamer potatoes) create the perfect balance between crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. Cooking them whole with the skin on keeps the steam inside and gives them their distinctly soft center. They come pre-sorted to be similar in size which means they'll cook evenly and in just 30 minutes.
  • Mince the garlic well – use a microplane to grate the garlic to a paste. This helps to evenly distribute the garlic throughout the potatoes. Alternatively, you can finely mince the garlic.
  • Season well – potatoes are okay on their own but they really shine with the right amount and the right mix of seasoning to enhance their natural flavour.

How to make roasted mini potatoes

These are so easy and healthy that they're sure to become a go-to side dish. They're ready in just three easy steps:

  1. Wash and dry the potatoes, toss them with olive oil, salt, pepper, and Italian seasoning then place them on a baking sheet and pop them into your oven.
  2. After 20 minutes of roasting add some finely minced garlic and roast everything for another 10 minutes (or until soft).
  3. Finish by topping with minced parsley and a squeeze of lemon and enjoy them hot!

Recipe FAQs

Can I use any kind of potato?

You can use any kind of potato diced into small pieces for a delicious dish but the mini potatoes offer a unique flavor and texture. If you can find mini potatoes, we recommend trying them!

Where can I find mini potatoes?

You can find mini potatoes year-round in the produce section of most grocery stores. They often come in a bag close to the other potatoes.

Can I slice the potatoes to make them cook faster?

Cooking them whole helps give these potatoes their soft center but if you're limited on time then yes, go ahead and slice them.

I don't have a Microplane. What can I do instead?

You can use a sharp knife to mince it into a paste.

Can I use dried parsley?

We love fresh parsley in this recipe but if you're out you can use dried. Instead of using it at the end, add ½ teaspoon of dried parsley at the same time as the Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper.

Serve these with Italian dressing chicken and roasted broccoli for a healthy weeknight dinner.

Notes

A Microplane is a grater that will make a paste out of garlic. This works well to coat each of the potatoes well, rather than being left with chunks of garlic. You can also use your knife to mince the garlic really well.Ā
