Ingredients

  • 3 lbs baby Yukon gold potatoes ((or baby red potatoes, or a mix of the two))
  • 4 Tbsp olive oil
  • 1/2 Tbsp dried oregano
  • 1 tsp kosher salt
  • 1 tsp dried minced onion
  • 3/4 tsp dried thyme leaves
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/2 tsp dried marjoram
  • 1/2 tsp dried basil

Directions

  1. 1

    Slice baby potatoes in half (quartering any unusually large ones), then place into a bowl of cold water.  Let potatoes soak about 30 minutes, changing the water if it becomes really cloudy.

  2. 2

    Place extra large baking sheet in oven on the middle rack.  Preheat oven to 400 F degrees with baking sheet inside.  

  3. 3

    Rinse potatoes with clean cold water, then place into a kitchen towel or paper towels to dry thoroughly.  Add potatoes to a large mixing bowl once dry.

  4. 4

    Add oil and toss to coat.  Add all seasonings and use your hands to rub the mixture into all the potatoes.  

  5. 5

    Remove baking sheet from oven (careful, it will be HOT!!), and drizzle it lightly with a tiny bit of oil.  Add potatoes to hot baking sheet and spread carefully into an even layer.

  6. 6

    Bake 25 minutes, then flip each potato over or stir with a spatula.  Bake another 15 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy.

  7. 7

    Serve hot and enjoy!
