Method
 

Preparation Steps
  1. Start by placing the baby gold potatoes in a large pot of cold salted water. Turn the heat to high and bring to a boil. Simmer for 8-10 minutes until fork-tender.
  2. Drain and steam dry for 2 minutes in the pot.
  3. Shake the dried potatoes in the pot to create a 'fuzzy' coating.
  4. Drizzle with olive oil and toss gently to coat for crispiness.
  5. For roasting, spread on a baking sheet at 425°F for 20-25 minutes, flipping halfway. For skillet, sear for 5 minutes per side until golden.
  6. Whisk melted butter, olive oil, garlic, rosemary, thyme, black pepper, and sea salt together.
  7. Toss cooked potatoes in the garlic herb mixture and serve warm.
