Ingredients
Scale
Potatoes
- 3 pounds baby potatoes
Seasoning & Coating
- 1 cup mayonnaise
- 1 teaspoon dried parsley
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/4 teaspoon paprika
- Kosher salt, to taste
- Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) to prepare for roasting the potatoes.
- Prepare Potatoes: Wash and scrub the baby potatoes thoroughly to remove any dirt. Pat them dry completely to ensure the coating sticks well.
- Mix Seasoning: In a large bowl, combine mayonnaise, dried parsley, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, kosher salt, and freshly ground black pepper. Stir until the mixture is smooth and evenly blended.
- Coat Potatoes: Add the dried potatoes to the bowl and toss them thoroughly in the mayonnaise mixture until all potatoes are evenly coated.
- Arrange on Baking Sheet: Transfer the coated potatoes to a rimmed baking sheet, spreading them out in a single, even layer to ensure even roasting.
- Roast Potatoes: Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes or until the potatoes are tender when pierced with a fork.
- Broil for Crispiness: Switch the oven setting to broil and cook the potatoes until their skins turn golden and crispy. Shake the pan gently a couple of times during broiling to ensure even crisping. Watch carefully to prevent burning.
- Season and Serve: Remove the potatoes from the oven, toss with additional salt and pepper to taste, and serve warm. Enjoy your savory, creamy, and crispy roasted potatoes!
Notes
- Make sure the potatoes are completely dry before coating to help the mayo mixture adhere better.
- Keep a close eye during the broiling step to avoid burning the potatoes.
- You can substitute fresh herbs for dried parsley if desired, but reduce the quantity slightly.
- This recipe works well with other small potato varieties like fingerlings or new potatoes.
- Mayonnaise helps achieve a crispy exterior and creamy interior without additional oil.
