Ingredients
Scale
Potatoes
- 1.5 pounds baby potatoes, washed and dried
Herbs and Seasonings
- 2–3 sprigs fresh rosemary
- 3 garlic cloves, minced or sliced
- 1 teaspoon sea salt
- ½ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
Oils
- 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven: Set your oven to 425°F (220°C) to ensure it’s hot enough to roast the potatoes to a crispy golden perfection.
- Prepare the Potatoes: Wash and dry the baby potatoes thoroughly. If any potatoes are slightly larger, cut them in half to ensure even cooking.
- Season the Potatoes: In a large mixing bowl, toss the potatoes with olive oil, minced garlic, fresh rosemary sprigs, sea salt, and freshly ground black pepper until evenly coated.
- Arrange on Baking Sheet: Spread the seasoned potatoes out in a single, even layer on a lined or greased baking sheet to allow air circulation and uniform roasting.
- Roast Until Golden: Place the tray in the preheated oven and roast for 25 to 30 minutes, flipping once halfway through, until the potatoes are golden brown and crisp on the outside.
- Serve Hot: Remove from the oven, discard any woody rosemary stems, and serve immediately for the best texture and flavor.
Notes
- Dry potatoes well before coating with oil to achieve maximum crispiness.
- Use fresh rosemary for a deeper aroma and flavor.
- Flip potatoes halfway through roasting to ensure even browning and prevent sticking.
- Don’t overcrowd the baking sheet—give each potato space for optimal roasting.
- Toss potatoes gently with seasoning to avoid bruising or breaking their skins.
