Ingredients

Ingredients

  • 1.5 pounds baby red potatoes
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter melted
  • 2 tablespoons minced fresh dill
  • Coarse salt
  • fresh cracked pepper

Instructions

Instructions

  • Step 1: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). A hot oven is key for achieving that crispy texture we all love.
  • Step 2: Rinse the baby red potatoes under cold water. Pat them dry with a clean kitchen towel. Cut each potato in half or quarters, depending on their size. Aim for uniform pieces to ensure even cooking.
  • Step 3: In a mixing bowl, combine the halved potatoes with olive oil, melted unsalted butter, minced fresh dill, coarse salt, and fresh cracked pepper. Toss everything together until the potatoes are well coated with the oil and seasoning.
  • Step 4: Spread the seasoned potatoes out in a single layer on a large baking sheet, ensuring they have some space between them for better air circulation and crispiness.
  • Step 5: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven. Roast the red potatoes for about 25-30 minutes, flipping them halfway through. You want them golden brown and crispy on the outside while remaining tender on the inside.
  • Step 6: Once they are perfectly roasted, remove the potatoes from the oven. Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary. Serve hot, garnished with a sprinkle of additional fresh dill if desired. Enjoy!
