Golden, crispy oven-roasted potatoes paired with a creamy homemade garlic aioli make a perfect snack or side dish that’s quick and easy to prepare.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 pounds baby Yukon Gold or red potatoes, halved or quartered
  • 3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika (optional)
  • 2 teaspoons fresh rosemary or thyme, finely chopped
  • 1/2 cup mayonnaise
  • 2 cloves garlic, roasted and mashed
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • Freshly ground black pepper, to taste

Instructions

  1. Fill a large pot with water, add a pinch of salt, and bring to a boil. Add the halved or quartered potatoes and cook for 8-10 minutes until just tender but not falling apart. Drain well and let steam dry for a few minutes.
  2. Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease with olive oil.
  3. In a large mixing bowl, toss the warm potatoes with olive oil, kosher salt, black pepper, smoked paprika (if using), and fresh rosemary or thyme until evenly coated.
  4. Spread the potatoes out in a single layer on the baking sheet, cut side down if possible, leaving space between pieces.
  5. Roast the potatoes for 25-30 minutes, flipping halfway through at about 15 minutes, until golden brown and crispy on the outside and fluffy inside.
  6. While roasting, roast garlic cloves in a small foil packet or on a baking sheet at 400°F (200°C) for about 15 minutes until soft. Once cooled, mash the garlic and mix with mayonnaise, lemon juice, salt, and pepper to make the aioli.
  7. Serve the hot roasted potatoes with garlic aioli on the side for dipping. Garnish with extra fresh herbs if desired.

Notes

Parboiling the potatoes before roasting ensures a crispy exterior and fluffy interior. Dry potatoes thoroughly after boiling to avoid steaming. Flip potatoes halfway through roasting for even crispiness. Roasting garlic mellows its flavor for the aioli. For vegan version, substitute mayonnaise with vegan mayo.
