Herb-Roasted New Potatoes
Roasted new potatoes are easy to prepare and make the perfect side dish. Our recipe combines potatoes, olive oil, rosemary, thyme and salt and pepper to make delicious herb roasted potatoes in just three easy steps.
New potatoes are immature ones, usually available in spring and early summer. They are low in starch and perfect for roasting and grilling. Not all small red and white potatoes are necessarily new ones. A true new potato is freshly harvested, has a thin skin and will not keep long.

- 1/4 cup (2 fl. oz./125 ml) olive oil
- 1 Tbs. chopped fresh rosemary
- 1 Tbs. chopped fresh thyme
