Now, onto the recipe!
Small baby potatoes are tossed with 5 basic ingredients – fresh garlic, chopped parsley and flavored with salt and pepper for extra flavor. This recipe can be made vegan too. Simply skip the cheese and continue with rest of the ingredients. Few tips to follow-
- ✔ Evenly slice your potatoes. This way potatoes will be baked in desired time.
- ✔ To peel or not to peel baby potatoes is entirely up to you. Just a note that potato skin adds nutrients and extra crunch.
- ✔ If using big potatoes, peel them as their skin is thicker compared to baby potatoes. Cut them in cubes so that they are evenly toasted.
- ✔ Substitute for Parsley – fresh cilantro leaves.
Bake potatoes for 30-35 minutes or until crispy and brown. These baby potatoes turned out just the way I like them. Crispy on the edges and so soft and creamy in the middle – perfectly baked and tastes so much better. This recipe adds a whole new dimension to baby potatoes. Works great on sweet potatoes too!

Wonder how chopped basil would be instead of parsley. Sound delicious. Going to try these with pork tenderloin. Yummmmm!
Ruchi says
That would taste super yum. Have tried these potatoes with fresh basil and dill – they are equally delicious!
Dr.Maya Rao says
Thanks for the super recipe Ruchi. I tried it in my ‘air frier’ ,and everybody was asking for more. For a little change, I added some crushed mint (pudeena) leaves instead of parsley, and it came out well, with a very pleasant flavour.
Ruchi says
Pleasure is all mine. 🙂
Thanks for sharing your wonderful feedback with me. Mint leaves is a great addition too!
Anita says
I usually make them with soups. We add rosemary rather than cilantro. When we make for Indian gathering we sprinkle chaat masala while serving.
Ruchi says
Ditto, love them with soup and bread!
Thanks for sharing a lovely tip!
Johnny says
We make these all the time.
Adding a tbsp of flour to the oil makes these even crispier, and a tsp of red chilli flakes adds a nice kick if you want a bit of spice.
Ruchi says
Thanks for a wonderful tip Johnny!
