How to Make Spiced Baby Potatoes

- Once done, remove from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes before serving.
Tips for the Best Results

- For extra flavor, let the potatoes marinate in the olive oil and spices for 15-30 minutes before roasting.
- Keep an eye on the potatoes towards the end of the cooking time to prevent burning.
Easy Variations
- Herb-Infused: Add fresh rosemary or parsley for a fragrant twist.

- Cheesy Delight: Sprinkle with grated Parmesan cheese during the last 5 minutes of baking.
What to Serve With It
