Cut the new potatoes into even-sized chunks, ensuring they are close to the same size for even baking.

Add 2 tablespoons of balsamic vinegar to a bowl.

Chop 1/2 shallot finely and add it to the bowl.

Add 2 tablespoons of olive oil to the bowl.

Add a tablespoon of fresh rosemary and fresh thyme to the bowl.

Add a healthy pinch of kosher salt and black pepper to the bowl.

Mix the ingredients in the bowl with your hands until the potatoes are evenly coated.

Spread the potatoes in a single layer on a baking sheet, ensuring they are not on top of each other.

Preheat the oven to 400°F (204°C).

Place the baking sheet in the oven and roast the potatoes for 40 to 45 minutes, turning them halfway through at around 20 minutes.

After 30 minutes, check for doneness; if you prefer them more charred, leave them in for up to an hour.

Once done, sprinkle more fresh herbs on top and add coarse sea salt before serving.
