Herb Roasted Potatoes FAQs
Can I use another type of potato for this recipe?
Yes, you can use other varieties of potatoes such as Yukon golds, red, or fingerling potatoes for this recipe. Simply adjust the cooking time as needed based on the size and texture of the potatoes.
Can I use dried herbs instead of fresh herbs?
This recipe calls for both dried and fresh herbs, but you can certainly use all dried herbs or all fresh herbs. Fresh herbs provide a fresh and vibrant flavor profile, but dried herbs are also delicious. Remember to reduce the amount of herbs by about one-third to one-half, as dried herbs are more concentrated in flavor.
Can I prepare the potatoes in advance for meal prepping?
Absolutely! Simply wash and cut the petite potatoes in half and transfer to an airtight container. Fill the container with enough water to cover the potatoes. You can store your potatoes this way for up to 24 hours in advance. When you’re ready to cook, thoroughly dry the potatoes with paper towels and proceed with seasoning and roasting as directed in the recipe. This time-saving step allows for easy meal preparation.
