    • Crispy perfection!
    • Hearty, flavorful, and filling

    👩🏽‍🍳 How to get potatoes crispy

    The key to crispy roasted baby potatoes is simply a baking sheet and patience. I’m one of those cooks who love baking on a sheet lined with parchment because it quickens the clean-up. But! The sheet must be 'naked' if you want a crispy bite.

    Potatoes get crispy when set cut-side down and baked in direct contact with the baking sheet first. To make sure they don't stick to the pan, grease the sheet beforehand and cover potatoes in oil.

    Secondly, be patient! Allow your potatoes to roast in the oven undisturbed for at least 30 minutes, so they form a crust. Then flip onto the other side.

    Third, do not overcrowd your baking sheet with potatoes. Make sure to use a sheet that is big enough for all the potatoes to have space.

    Cuisine Dairy-Free, Egg-Free, Plant Based, Vegan
    Servings 4 servings

    Ingredients
      

    • 700 g small baby potatoes, yellow* (1.5 lbs)
    • 280 g cherry tomatoes (10 oz)
    • 1 large sliced red onion
    • 4-6 cloves of garlic*
    • 1-2 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
    • 15 ml fresh lime juice (1 tbsp)
    • rosemary, garlic and onion powder to taste*
    • salt and pepper to taste

    Instructions
     

    • Preheat your oven to 240°C / 400°F. Lightly grease a baking sheet.
    • Half baby potatoes, slice onion and peel garlic. Add potatoes, onion, and garlic to a bowl that is big enough to toss. Add remaining ingredients to the bowl: olive oil, fresh lime juice, cherry tomatoes, and seasonings, and toss well, until coated evenly. Pour onto a prepared baking sheet (lightly greased). Place the potatoes cut side down on the baking sheet before putting them in the oven. (Make sure to pick a big enough baking sheet.) Do not overcrowd your baking sheet otherwise.
    • Place in oven and cook for 30 minutes, or until potato skins are crispy and browned and centers are cooked through. Flip potatoes and bake for another 15 - 20 minutes. Enjoy!

    Notes

    Should I use fresh or dried herbs? Fresh herbs and dried herbs are both fine to use in this recipe.
    Best oil to use? For this recipe I use olive oil as it adds gorgeous flavour and has a fairly low smoking point. For extra crispy potatoes consider using an oil such as vegetable or sunflower oil. I personally am just not willing to sacrifice the flavor of oil. In the end it's up to you!
    What potatoes to use? Red or Yellow Baby Potatoes are my preferred choice, but Red Potatoes and Yukon Gold work too. If you end up using bigger potatoes, make sure to quarter them.
    Can I leave out the garlic? Yes, if you’re not a garlic fan you can reduce the amount or leave it out and use your favorite seasoning on the potatoes. (However, I personally think it adds so much good flavor to this dish that I wouldn't want to miss out on.)

        Please let me know how long and at what temperature do you cook the tomatoes?

        Do you slice them in half and squeeze out the seeds before cooking them?

        How do you season them?

        Is sage a good seasoning choice for the tomatoes and the potatoes?

        Thank you.

          Hi Sandy, thank you so much for your question! The cherry tomatoes are baked together with the potatoes and other ingredients at 240°C / 400°F for 45 to 50 minutes.
          The cherry tomatoes are simply sliced in half. You can squeeze the seeds out if wished, but no need to.

          The seasoning is very simple, as explained in the recipe, I use fresh onion, cloves of garlic, extra virgin olive oil, and fresh lime juice. Then I also add dried rosemary, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper to taste.

          However, sage is an excellent choice that goes very well with baby potatoes and cherry tomatoes as well! I sometimes like to add Italian seasoning to these as well, for some slight variation.

          I hope this helps and answers all your questions! Best, Jacqui
