Easter Brunch Potatoes
With so many things to do at Easter, these roasted Easter brunch potatoes will be an almost effortless addition to your celebration. Baby potatoes are roasted on a sheet pan with paprika, salt, pepper, and olive oil, then topped with a little fresh thyme. They can be made ahead and reheated, making them a perfect dish for a holiday brunch.
Ingredients
- 2 pounds of baby potatoes
- 3 tablespoons of olive oil
- ½ teaspoon of paprika
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt or more to taste
- ½ ground pepper or more to taste
- 5-6 sprigs of fresh thyme removed from the stalk
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 425ºF.
- Wash and dry the potatoes.
- Line a baking sheet.
- Put 2 pounds of potatoes on the baking sheet.
- Drizzle over 3 tablespoons of olive oil.
- Sprinkle on ½ teaspoon of paprika, 1 teaspoon of salt, and ½ teaspoon of ground pepper.
- With clean hands, toss the vegetables until they are well coated in the oil and spices.
- Place in the oven for 20-25 minutes or until caramelized and a knife easily pierces them.
- Remove from the oven, and add a few sprigs of fresh thyme.
- Enjoy!
Notes
Cook your potatoes long enough at a high enough temperature. Potatoes cooked at a temperature too low will soften but never get that caramelized skin that makes roasted potatoes so delicious.
You can also use new potatoes or red potatoes here but look for small potatoes. The idea is to roast these potatoes whole so that you don’t have to do any prep work before making them.
I recommend just using your clean hands to toss the ingredients together but you can also use a spoon or tongs to toss them in the oil and spices.
You can make these potatoes the night before and reheat them right before you plan to serve them. These potatoes also taste great at room temperature so are great to add to a brunch spread. Add your fresh thyme right before you plan to serve them.
