Herb Roasted Potatoes

Herb Roasted Potatoes fresh out of the oven


Few things are as rewarding – and as easy – as roasting potatoes. Insert fresh herbs, minced garlic, and cracked black pepper into the equation, and you’re set up for herb roasted potatoes. It’s a heavenly, home-cooked side dish. When it comes to potatoes, I usually make my spicy home fries laced with chili powder and similar spices. But with homegrown herbs so readily available on my balcony, it was time for a different flavor profile. Herbs are the star of the show here, by way of baby potatoes.

The technique for herb roasted potatoes is the same as roasting any other spuds. Before roasting in olive oil, simply drop them in salted boiling water for a few minutes. This gives the exteriors a head start on the cooking process. Then while roasting, by the time the interiors are cooked to velvety creaminess, the exteriors are crispy with slightly caramelized bits of seasonings.

It goes without saying that if herbs are the featured ingredient, they need to be fresh. When shopping, just buy whatever herbs look the best. I happened to have grown thyme, sage and chives, so that’s what I’m working with heavily these days. It’s difficult to find an herb combination that does not work well. The technique is the same regardless. Just promise me this … do not use dried herbs for herb roasted potatoes. Not even dried parsley!

Finally using the last of my homegrown herbs from the past summer and fall.

If you have outdoor space available, now is the time to plan ahead for next growing season because it will be here before you know it. Start planting herb seedlings in April, then you can have a replenishing supply of fresh herbs all summer through to most of next fall. All you need is some small 9-inch containers.  

Thyme leaves

Removing thyme leaves

The only real precaution here lies in the use of fresh thyme. The thick woody stems of thyme do not cook down and run the risk of getting caught in your throat. They can actually be quite hazardous. Therefore, take the time to remove the individual thyme leaves (see below). Simply cut off each stem, hold the tip and gently slide the stem between your fingers in the opposite direction. Then pinch off the tips. Do this ahead of time because it’s a pain to do quickly while you’re deep into cooking. You don’t want to rush this process.

The amounts of herbs in recipes is often difficult to quantify. Plus, it’s also a matter of personal taste or even your mood at the moment. So just take what I’m doing with a grain of salt … pun intended.

Ingredients

  • 40–45 baby potatoes
  • 7–10 sage leaves, chopped fine
  • ¼ cup finely chopped chives
  • 3 heaping tablespoons finely chopped thyme
  • 4 cloves garlic, finely diced
  • 1 tablespoon freshly ground black pepper
  • 4 tablespoons olive oil 
  • 2 heaping teaspoons kosher salt
ingredidnts for herb roasted potatoes

Kosher salt, black pepper, chives, garlic, thyme and sage.

 

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Meanwhile, line a shallow 13’ x 9” sheet pan with foil. Place the pan in the oven so it can heat up. In a large pot, bring 8-10 cups of water to a boil, seasoned with a few generous pinches of salt.
  2. Be sure your herbs are prepared according to the ingredients list. 
  3. Cut each potato on in half, crosswise. Set aside. Combine all of your chopped herbs in a small bowl and mix so they’re all even distributed. 
  4. Once the pot of water is boiling, slowly place the halved potatoes into the water. Once again, bring to a boil for another 3 to 4 minutes. Then, transfer to a colander to drain the water.
  5. Return the potatoes to the large pot. Stir in olive oil so all potatoes are evenly coated. Add the herbs, garlic, black pepper, and salt. Stir potatoes until the seasoning is evenly distributed.
  6. Remove the hot sheet pan from the oven (using oven mits). Transfer seasoned potatoes to your sheet pan evenly distributed in one layer with none overlapping. They will sizzle when added, and that’s what you want. 
  7. Roast the potatoes at 400 degrees. After about 15 minutes give them a gentle stir. Roast them for another 15 minutes, or until they’re fork tender. They should be technically done by now, but for extra crisping, switch the heat to the broiler. Place your herb roasted potatoes within 6 inches of the heating element and broil until desired doneness.

Weekend is here, and time for me to indulge in som Weekend is here, and time for me to indulge in some meat eating, cuz I can’t eat vegetarian ALL the time. 

Philly cheese steak sandwiches seem like they’re everywhere lately, so I needed to get in on the action with some late night cooking. Something about cooking at night feels really awesome … maybe it’s the rum & ginger ale. White cheese sauce with Gruyere and Fontina cheeses. Or, is this just a version of a #choppedcheese? Call it what you want, it's damn good. Of course gotta have the @franksredhot hot sauce.

So, about that Jamaican Curry Sweet Potato Dip (on So, about that Jamaican Curry Sweet Potato Dip (on the blog) … into this #veganbowl it goes, helping me detox after a night of indulging in chicken wings … with quinoa, salad greens, shredded cabbage, cucumber, roasted red pepper, tahini dressing from @epicurious , and baba ganoush and hot sauce from @veggiestopofficial. Yup I’m officially a sauce bandit, will pay extra when I order takeout just to have extra sauce to play with. It’s amazing how so much food we eat is quite similar until you sauce it up.

To all the lovers of curry, sweet potatoes, plant- To all the lovers of curry, sweet potatoes, plant-based food, Neo-Soul and Jamaican food … or anyone else simply curious. Finally up on the blog is this hummus-like Sweet Potato Dip with Jamaican Curry and Candied Ginger. I’m calling it a dip because ... can something really be called hummus without chickpeas? 

This came about from watching so many episodes of Chopped. I wanted to make hummus one day and didn’t have chickpeas. It was raining out and I didn’t want to go to the store, so I used what I had available … sweet potatoes, tahini, pickled scotch bonnet peppers, lemon juice, garlic, white onion, and of course my homegrown thyme. 

Those pickled scotch bonnet peppers I posted about a little while ago went to good use here. All week I’ve been putting this on my sandwiches, in my bowls, or just dipping with veggies or pita for an awesome snack.

Side note … if you don't have much outdoor space and you're looking to grow something, grow chives! They're so easy and they grow back … even after a long cold winter.

I missed National Empanada Day with this sweet pot I missed National Empanada Day with this sweet potato empanada dough I've been working on perfecting. Will post to the blog once I'm fully satisfied ... just like everything else on my long list of food projects in process. Can't decide on cornmeal or flour, hmmm. Ignore the filling for now, I didn't want to waste an awesome filling on a kitchen test. So much to cook, so little time!

I'm that one who constantly orders extra sauce from every restaurant I order from (especially @mamasempanadas4) so I can use it on everything else. Sauce and condiments are ever so important. If I don't have to enough I get REALLY cranky, just ask @brothashakespeare who has to endure my pouting. It's worth paying the extra coins.

Here's me trying really hard to get into yogurt .. Here's me trying really hard to get into yogurt ... tricking myself into thinking it's better than it really is. It just seems like eating baby food to me. I really think it's gross but Greek yogurt seems to really help blood pressure, and granola helps with cholesterol ... damn, forgot the freakin' granola for the pic! Oh well. Nuts and seeds will have to do for now. 

I really really want a ham and cheese sammich with roasted red pepper, runny yolk and hot sauce. 😭

Plus some super ripe pineapple showed up at my local grocery store, so had to rise to the occasion. 🍑 and 🍍 go amazing well together, for the record. And pineapple juice makes this concoction less "yogurty". Any other yogurt tricks I'm missing out on?

I'm always looking for new vegan and/or plant based meal ideas, other than my usual sandwiches, salads/bowls, and tacos. I do eat some meat, but plants just make my body feel so good. This recipe was certainly a game changer.

As soon as I walk through the front door, I lose my mind and everything I had planned for goes out the window ... even if I have a list!

This mega international food market just outside of #astoriaqueensnewyork @foodbazaarsupermarket is like taking a trip around the world from aisle to aisle, love it. This is one of my favorite places I go to brainstorm when but I need to unplug from social media ... kinda like a field trip.

Anyone have a really good cinnamon roll recipe? On Anyone have a really good cinnamon roll recipe? One that yields light and fluffy rolls like Cinnabon, not dense and cake-like. Maybe I'll just make some cinnamon toast in the meantime.

Ever since I became aware of the cinnamon debate … Ceylon vs. Cassia ... I've had a new found love for this Ceylon from Mexico. Its warmer, sweeter aroma just makes me so happy, and works much better in baked foods. Those small, perfect-looking McCormick sticks in the spice aisle just don't compare. 

I need to nerd out on ingredients every now and then. Am I the only one who gets so excited to see fantastic ingredients in the store that it's almost like a celebrity sighting?

Well, looky what we have here … the chives that Well, looky what we have here … the chives that died last fall, that I ignored all winter, and now all grown up and ready to be used in baked potatoes, homefries, and omelettes. So glad that buying chives is now a thing of the past because they're always kinda messed up in the grocery store. 

I'm guilty of always cooking the same thing over and over. What else are chives good for?
Feel free to drop some chive ideas.

Taking a moment to reflect on what 500 of somethin Taking a moment to reflect on what 500 of something looks like, thanks to all my people. As an introverted, humble #homecook , it's quite inspirational to connect with this many food-loving people through what I love to do best … cook!

This is a great time to recap and/or explain to new followers what Homemade in Astoria is.

It is…

• cross-cultural #comfortfood

• spicy 

• influenced by American Soul, Italian-American, New England, Jamaican, Mexican, and Puerto Rican cuisines, with occasional attempts at Asian food

• sometimes vegetarian, meatless, plant-based or vegan

• balcony barbecue

• urban gardening in containers

• not boring

• not pretentious or super-gourmet, don't hold your breath waiting for a post about ramps or fiddleheads.

• a little bit of fitness mixed in

• in support of #blacklivesmatter and #stopasianhate

How it All Started...

I arrived in Astoria in 2004 originally from Rhode Island. I loved to cook since I was 8 years old and like many small towns in the 80s, grocery stores and multicultural knowledge were super limited. Many times I remember my sister telling me to just "skip it" if we didn't have an ingredient. She even skipped salt! And on course the recipe never turned out right, so this really made me curious at a really young age. 

Upon arriving in #astoriaqueens, I was super excited to see so many international ingredients that I had not been exposed to growing up. I spent tons of time in grocery stores just researching what was available. So, I started the blog in 2015 simply to document what I do in the kitchen. Trial and error still happens but I know more of what I’m doing nowadays.

Out of all the ways to cook bacon 🥓, I have fin Out of all the ways to cook bacon 🥓, I have finally decided this broiler method is the best. You get the close contact to the heating element (flame in my case) and the grease just falls onto the foil-lined sheet pan below the wire rack. No need to actually touch any grease as it all gets bunched into a foil ball ... such easy clean-up.

When I'm in a pinch and don't feel like turning on the oven, I resort to using the microwave at 50% power. Blotting it heavily in between cooking it in increments of 3 or 4 minutes until the desired doneness is achieved assures that it's no swimming in grease. Sure, it requires a ton of paper towels but it works well.

And really, you need to start with excellent bacon. I'm loyal to either Applegate or Smithfield … what other brands are awesome?

Happy Spring, everyone! 🌻The first day of #spri Happy Spring, everyone! 🌻The first day of #spring2021 was amazing in NYC and after doing my cardio in Astoria Park, this bench was the most comfortable thing in the world for almost an hour. After exactly one year of doing outdoor cardio 3 to 4 times a week, 🏃🏼‍♂️ I'm in the best shape of my adult life, thanks to NYC parks and entering my third year of occasional meatless eating. 

Before the pandemic I always told myself I should use this park (only two blocks away) more often, but never actually did it until I had no choice. And I thought no way could I do cardio outdoors in the winter, but it completely happened. Sometimes ya just need to be pushed into doing things.

Eggplant sandwiches about to go down with this no- Eggplant sandwiches about to go down with this no-salt grilled eggplant ... @mrsdashrecipes had my back. I was always skeptical of saltless products, but this works really well for grilled veggies. When I first learned how to cook, I went heavy on the salt from watching Anne Burrell add handfuls of salt to her concoctions, then realized she's a little crazy and I'm not cooking restaurant food. I admire her greatly, but NO on the salt. 

However, it does help to grind this up a bit finer with a mortar and pestle and add more black pepper.

I never thought of peanut butter in this way before. Sweet potatoes and cannelini beans do a great job filling in for the meat. A perfect clean-eating way to step into the first day of spring. 🌻

The only adjustments I made was using scotch bonnet peppers (seeds and ribs cuz I love it spicy 🔥) instead of jalapeños. And instead of adding fresh cilantro at the end I sautéed in some chopped culantro in the beginning.

Didn't have time to style, was just hungry! Oh well.
