Whip up these herb potatoes for a healthy option using nutrient-rich ingredients and fresh herbs for amazing flavor.

Roasted Herb Potatoes

These herb potatoes are simple easy and require few cooking skills!

They’re also healthy! 

Made with simple, whole foods: potatoes, fresh herbs, olive oil, and peppers and onion, pull out your cast iron skillet for magic.

Remember that whole foods, like this recipe, offer better nutrition and fewer additives than processed alternatives.

Skillet Potatoes and Onions

You can certainly use garlic in this recipe, but I decided that the herbs would be the power flavor ingredient.

Fresh herbs like rosemary, thyme, parsley, dill, and basil are rich in antioxidants, vitamins, and anti-inflammatory compounds. They enhance flavor without needing excess salt or butter.

Skillet Baby Potatoes

Now, I’m using baby Yukon potatoes because they’re just so tender and creamy. These herb potatoes are scrumptious and it’s ok to say yes to potatoes!

Potatoes (especially with the skin on) are a good source of:

• Fiber – supports digestion and satiety

• Vitamin C – boosts immune health

• Potassium – supports heart and muscle function

• Vitamin B6 – important for brain and metabolism

Herb Potatoes

Hopefully, you have a well seasoned cast iron skillet. You can cook and serve in this skillet. Why use a cast iron skillet?

Sautéing in a skillet (vs boiling or deep-frying) helps:

• Maintain vitamin and mineral content

• Avoid excessive calorie and fat intake

• Reduce cooking time, preserving freshness

Herbed Potato Salad

Another way that you can use this recipe is to make a potato salad!

If I were doing that, I’d slice all the potatoes (well, maybe not the tiny marble sized potatoes) in halves. Then after they’ve cooked using the recipe, let them cool completely. 

From that point, toss the skillet herb potatoes with some avocado mayonaise, sliced crispy celery and maybe some capers. A splash of lemon juice will add a nice citrus hint! Refrigerate before serving and devour!

Make a breakfast hash!

Chop and reheat the potatoes in a skillet with:

• Sautéed onions, peppers, or spinach

• Cooked bacon or sausage (optional)

• Top with a fried or poached egg

Wrap Them in a Burrito

• Add the potatoes to a tortilla with scrambled eggs, beans, cheese, and salsa for a hearty breakfast or lunch burrito.

Toss Them Into a Salad

• Warm or cold, they’re great in a mixed greens salad with cherry tomatoes, feta, olives, and a lemon vinaigrette.

Add to Soup or Stew

• Dice and stir them into broth-based soups like veggie soup, lentil stew, or chowder for texture and flavor.

Serve as a Side Dish… Again

• Crisp them up in the oven or air fryer to serve alongside grilled chicken, steak, or fish for a fast weeknight dinner.
