Ingredients
Scale
Potatoes
- 2 pounds baby potatoes
Seasoning
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons fresh rosemary, chopped
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven: Set your oven to 400°F (200°C) to get it ready for roasting. This ensures even cooking and a crispy exterior.
- Prepare the Potatoes: Wash the baby potatoes thoroughly and cut them in half to allow seasoning to penetrate and quicker roasting.
- Mix Seasonings: In a large bowl, combine the halved potatoes with olive oil, chopped rosemary, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Toss everything until the potatoes are evenly coated with the mixture.
- Arrange on Baking Sheet: Spread the seasoned potatoes in a single layer on a baking sheet, making sure they don’t overlap for proper roasting.
- Roast: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and roast for 25-30 minutes until the potatoes are golden brown on the outside and tender inside. You can flip them halfway through for even browning.
- Serve Warm: Once roasted, remove from the oven and serve immediately to enjoy the best texture and flavor.
Notes
- For extra crispiness, you can increase the olive oil slightly or roast at a higher temperature for a few additional minutes, monitoring closely.
- Fresh rosemary gives the best flavor, but dried rosemary can be substituted at about one-third the quantity.
- These potatoes pair wonderfully with grilled meats, roasted chicken, or a fresh green salad.
- Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days and reheated in the oven to retain crispiness.
- For a garlic boost, consider adding minced fresh garlic during the last 10 minutes of roasting.
