Instructions

Preheat and Prep: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and make cleanup easy.
Cut and Season Potatoes: Cut the baby gold potatoes into halves or quarters, depending on their size. Toss them in a large bowl with 2 tablespoons of extra virgin olive oil, ½ teaspoon kosher salt, and ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper, ensuring they are well coated.
Roast: Arrange the potatoes cut-side down in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Roast in the preheated oven for 35 minutes, allowing the potatoes to cook through and start crisping.
Add Garlic: Remove the baking sheet from the oven and sprinkle the minced garlic evenly over the potatoes. Toss the potatoes gently to distribute the garlic, then spread them back into an even layer. Rotate the baking sheet and return it to the oven for an additional 5 to 10 minutes, until the potatoes are golden brown and crisp.
Season and Serve: After roasting, toss the potatoes with the remaining ¼ teaspoon salt and sprinkle with fresh chopped chives or parsley if desired. Let them cool slightly before serving hot.

Notes

For extra crispiness, make sure potatoes are spread out in a single layer without overcrowding the pan.
Using parchment paper helps prevent sticking and makes for easier cleanup.
You can substitute fresh herbs with dried ones, but add them before roasting for better flavor infusion.
These potatoes can be prepared a few hours ahead and reheated in the oven to maintain their crispness.
