These mayonnaise herb roasted potatoes are my all-time new favorite way to make family-style crispy potatoes with a creamy inside.
Why We Love These Potatoes
This recipe is so easy to make; just slice, mix and bake. The potatoes are extra crispy on the outside and stay creamy on the inside. They have a slight hint of tanginess from the mayonnaise and are full of freshness from the herbs.
Why Mayonnaise Works
Mayonnaise is a mixture of eggs, oil, herbs, and lemon or vinegar. It helps to create a crispy outside while keeping the inside tender. Mayonnaise can also be used to coat meats and fish for the same reason.
Simple Ingredients
Don’t have fresh herbs? Not to worry; one tablespoon of dried thyme and one tablespoon of dried rosemary can be substituted for the fresh herbs.

I have had potatoes made with mayo, but never made them myself. They were very good and simple to prepare. On my second batch, I had a little leftover sauce, so after I flipped them in the oven, I brushed the remaining sauce onto them…didn’t want to waste that goodness.
