- 2 pounds baby potatoes (Yukon Gold, red new potatoes, or a colorful mix)
- 1/4 cup honey
- 2 tablespoons fresh rosemary, chopped
- 2 tablespoons fresh thyme, chopped
- 4 cloves garlic, smashed
- 3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- Salt, to taste
- Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Wash and scrub the baby potatoes thoroughly, leaving the skins on. Pat them completely dry with a kitchen towel.
- In a large mixing bowl, drizzle the clean, dry potatoes with olive oil, then add the honey. Toss in the fresh rosemary and thyme, smashed garlic cloves, and a generous pinch of salt and freshly ground black pepper. Mix well to ensure every potato is evenly coated.
- Arrange the coated potatoes in a single layer on a large baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Make sure not to overcrowd the pan.
- Roast the potatoes in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes. Stir or flip them halfway through to ensure even browning. Continue roasting for another 20-25 minutes, or until fork-tender and golden brown.
- Remove the baking sheet from the oven. Discard the spent herb sprigs and garlic skins if desired. Serve immediately and enjoy!
