Instructions
Prepare the potatoes
Peel the new potatoes and use a melon baller to scoop into small, uniform balls. This ensures even cooking.
Pro tip: Use similarly sized potatoes to make balling easier.
Pre-boil the potatoes
In a large pot, bring water to a boil. Add the potato balls and boil for 5 minutes until slightly tender. Drain and let them dry.
Pro tip: Letting them dry ensures they roast better.
Preheat the oven
Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F).
Season the potatoes
In a bowl, toss the potatoes with olive oil, salt, and pepper until well coated.
Pro tip: Ensure all potatoes are evenly coated with oil.
Roast the potatoes
Spread the potatoes on a baking sheet in a single layer. Roast in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy.
Pro tip: Shake the pan halfway through for even browning.
Garnish and serve
Remove from oven, sprinkle with fresh parsley and chives, and serve immediately.
Pro tip: Add a squeeze of lemon for extra zest.
