New Potatoes Baked in Parchment image

For an herb-infused delight, try cooking new potatoes in parchment. It's easier than it sounds. You pile a couple of pounds of potatoes onto a large round of baking parchment along with garlic, herbs and olive oil. Fold the parchment into a parcel and consign it to the oven for 45 minutes. When you open the package, steam-roasted new potatoes beckon. Indulge.

Time 1h

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 pounds small new potatoes, each 1 1/2 to 2 inches in diameter
1/4 cup olive oil
Salt
pepper
1 rosemary sprig
A few thyme sprigs
A few sage sprigs
1 head of garlic, cloves separated but not peeled
3 tablespoons chopped flat-leaf parsley

Steps:

  • Heat the oven to 400 degrees. Wash the potatoes in warm water to remove dirt or sand, then drain and blot. Put them in large mixing bowl. Add the olive oil, a generous amount of salt and pepper, the rosemary, thyme, sage and garlic cloves, and mix to coat.
  • Arrange potatoes on an 18-inch round of baking parchment. Fold the parchment over to make a half moon, then fold and crimp the rounded edge to make a package, tucking in the end. It is O.K. if the package is not completely airtight. Place it on a baking sheet and bake for 45 minutes. Parchment will puff and brown as the potatoes roast within.
  • Remove potatoes from oven and let rest 10 minutes. Open the package and sprinkle with parsley. Serve directly from the parchment, with a large spoon for the delicious oily juices.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my potatoes were undercooked. I had to put them back in the oven for an extra 10 minutes.

These potatoes were so easy to make and they turned out so well! I served them with roasted chicken and a side of green beans. It was a delicious and healthy meal.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but these potatoes were a disaster. They were mushy and tasteless.

These potatoes were perfect! I followed the recipe exactly and they turned out crispy on the outside and fluffy on the inside. I served them with grilled chicken and a side of roasted vegetables.

The potatoes were a little dry. I think I should have added more butter.

These potatoes were a bit bland for my taste. I think I would have liked them better if I had added more herbs and spices.

These potatoes were absolutely delicious! The parchment paper locked in all the flavor and moisture, and the herbs and butter added a wonderful flavor. I will definitely be making these again.
