Ingredients
Scale
Potatoes
- 2 pounds Yukon Gold or Russet potatoes
Herbs & Flavorings
- 2 tablespoons fresh rosemary, chopped
- 4–6 garlic cloves, minced
Oils & Seasonings
- 1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) to ensure it’s hot enough to create crispy, golden potatoes.
- Prepare Potatoes: Wash the potatoes thoroughly and cut them into 1-inch cubes to ensure even roasting.
- Toss with Seasonings: In a large bowl, combine the potato cubes with the olive oil, minced garlic, chopped rosemary, salt, and pepper. Toss well to coat each piece evenly.
- Arrange on Baking Sheet: Spread the coated potatoes out in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. This helps in even cooking and prevents sticking.
- Roast Potatoes: Roast in the preheated oven for 30 to 35 minutes, flipping the potatoes halfway through the cooking time. Continue roasting until they turn golden brown and attain a crispy texture on the outside.
- Serve Warm: Remove from the oven and serve immediately as a delightful and aromatic side dish to your favorite meal.
Notes
- For extra crispiness, parboil potatoes for 5 minutes before roasting.
- Using parchment paper makes clean-up easier and prevents sticking.
- Rosemary can be substituted with thyme or oregano for a different herbal flavor.
- Adjust garlic quantity according to your preference for pungency.
- Use Yukon Gold potatoes for a creamier texture or Russet for fluffier interiors.
