I love cooking with fresh herbs, Rosemary thrives in the desert, Thyme survives in partial shade, but parsley has a short life cycle in a hot climate. I would make this again even if I had to purchase the herbs. I used red skin potatoes and had to substitute sweet paprika. Basting with the garlic and herb butter-oil resulted in beautifully browned potatoes with the flavors of Rosemary, Thyme, and garlic enhanced by a bit of heat from the red pepper. Thanks Mean Chef!

A fabulously easy and scrumptious side dish. Nice crisped potatoes with a little kick of heat. Mine took almost an hour to bake. ***UPDATE*** These are so good, I had to comment again. This time I added some grated pecorino during the last 15 minutes of baking. It made a nice, crunchy topping for the potatoes.
