  • Total Time: 40 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings 1x

Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 1.5 pounds baby potatoes, firm and evenly sized
  • 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
  • 2–3 sprigs fresh rosemary, finely chopped
  • 3–4 garlic cloves, minced
  • Salt, to taste
  • Freshly ground black pepper, to taste

Instructions

  1. Preheat Your Oven: Set your oven to 400°F (200°C) to ensure perfect crisping without drying out the potatoes.
  2. Prepare the Potatoes: Wash and dry the baby potatoes thoroughly, leaving skins on for extra texture and nutrition. Cut larger potatoes in half for even cooking.
  3. Toss with Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the potatoes with olive oil, finely chopped rosemary, minced garlic, salt, and freshly ground black pepper. Toss well until each piece is evenly coated.
  4. Arrange on Baking Sheet: Spread the potatoes in a single layer on a lined baking sheet, making sure they’re spaced out to avoid steaming.
  5. Roast Until Golden: Bake for 25 to 35 minutes, flipping or tossing the potatoes halfway through for even browning and caramelization.
  6. Serve Warm and Enjoy: Remove from oven once golden and tender inside, let rest a few minutes to lock in juiciness, then serve warm.

Notes

  • Pat Dry Potatoes: Ensure potatoes are completely dry before roasting to achieve maximum crispiness.
  • Use Fresh Herbs: Fresh rosemary provides a more vibrant and woodsy aroma than dried.
  • Don’t Overcrowd: Give potatoes enough space on the pan to roast evenly instead of steaming.
  • Flip for Even Browning: Turn the potatoes one or two times during roasting to caramelize all sides.
  • Adjust Garlic Amount: Increase garlic if you prefer a stronger flavor as roasting mellows its intensity.
