Mini Herby Potato Bites

These Mini Herby Potato Bites are everything you want in a party-friendly snack: crispy edges, soft centres, and a generous coating of herbs, garlic, and olive oil. They’re simple, satisfying, and incredibly versatile — a perfect addition to festive spreads, weeknight dinners, or cosy weekend grazing boards.

Because baby potatoes roast quickly and evenly, they become beautifully golden without needing any complicated steps. Tossed in pantry staples and finished with fresh herbs, these little bites feel rustic, comforting, and full of flavour while still being naturally gluten- and dairy-free.

What Makes These Mini Herby Potato Bites Special

These potato bites deliver a huge flavour payoff with minimal work. The trick is roasting the potatoes cut-side down so they caramelise on the edges while staying soft and buttery on the inside — no dairy needed. The simple herb-and-garlic seasoning makes them taste like mini roasties, only faster and more snackable.

They’re the kind of dish that fits into any meal: a quick side for grilled meats, a festive party nibble, or something warm to put in the centre of the table for people to grab. They’re naturally gluten-free, budget-friendly, and kid-approved.

Serving Suggestions

These are incredibly versatile — try serving them with:

• Dairy-free garlic mayo

• Avocado crema

• Sweet chilli sauce

• Vegan aioli or pesto

• A squeeze of fresh lemon right before serving

They’re also perfect alongside roast chicken, grilled veggies, burgers, or as part of a festive grazing board.

Storage & Reheating

• Store leftovers in the fridge for up to 3 days.

• Reheat in the oven or air fryer at 180°C for 5–8 minutes to bring back the crisp.

• Avoid microwaving — it softens the potatoes.

Optional Tips & Variations

• Add paprika or chilli flakes for a spiced version

• Use fresh rosemary or thyme for stronger herb flavour

• Drizzle with balsamic glaze for a sweet-savory twist

• Sprinkle with nutritional yeast for a cheesy, dairy-free finish
