Equipment
- Baking sheet
- Mixing bowl
- Sharp knife
- Cutting board
- Measuring spoons
Ingredients
- 2 pounds Potatoes preferably Yukon Gold or Russet, washed and cut into bite-sized pieces
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Fresh rosemary finely chopped
- 3 cloves Garlic minced
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- ½ teaspoon Black pepper freshly ground
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Preheating the oven ensures that the potatoes roast evenly and develop a crispy exterior.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the olive oil, minced garlic, chopped rosemary, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to create a flavorful marinade.
- Add the potato pieces to the bowl and toss them gently to coat them evenly with the marinade. The rosemary and garlic will cling to the potatoes, infusing them with their aromatic flavors.
- Transfer the potatoes to a baking sheet, spreading them out in a single layer. This allows them to roast evenly and develop a crispy texture.
- Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and roast the potatoes for about 30-35 minutes, or until they are golden brown and crispy on the outside. Remember to flip them halfway through the cooking process to ensure even browning.
- Once the potatoes are done, remove them from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes. This allows them to firm up slightly and become even crispier.
- Transfer the rosemary roasted potatoes to a serving dish and garnish with additional fresh rosemary, if desired. Serve them hot and enjoy!
Notes
- Choose the right potatoes — Opt for Yukon Gold or Russet potatoes for the best results. These varieties have a higher starch content, resulting in a fluffy interior and crispy exterior when roasted.
- Don't crowd the pan — Make sure the potato pieces are spread out in a single layer on the baking sheet. Crowding them can lead to steaming instead of roasting, resulting in less crispy potatoes.
- Flip for even browning — Flip the potatoes halfway through the cooking process to ensure they brown evenly on all sides. This step helps achieve that desirable golden color and crispy texture.
- Adjust seasonings to taste — Feel free to adjust the amount of rosemary, garlic, salt, and pepper to suit your personal preferences. Taste the marinade before tossing the potatoes to ensure it's seasoned to your liking.
