Ingredients

Scale

Potatoes

  • 1.5 pounds baby or Yukon Gold potatoes, washed and cut into uniform bite-sized pieces

Seasonings

  • 3–4 fresh rosemary sprigs, leaves removed and chopped
  • 3 garlic cloves, minced
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil (or avocado oil for a vegan variation)
  • 1 teaspoon sea salt
  • ½ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Potatoes: Wash the potatoes thoroughly and cut them into uniform bite-sized pieces to ensure even cooking. Leaving the skin on adds extra texture and nutrients.
  2. Season the Potatoes: In a large bowl, toss the potatoes with olive oil, fresh rosemary leaves, minced garlic, sea salt, and freshly ground black pepper until everything is evenly coated.
  3. Arrange for Roasting: Spread the seasoned potatoes in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Avoid overcrowding to help the potatoes roast rather than steam.
  4. Roast to Perfection: Place the baking sheet in a preheated oven at 425°F (220°C) for about 30-40 minutes, turning the potatoes halfway through to develop an even, golden crust while keeping the insides soft.
  5. Final Touch: Once crispy and golden, remove the potatoes from the oven and let them cool slightly before serving. Optionally, sprinkle a touch more fresh rosemary for an extra fragrant pop.

Notes

  • Use room temperature potatoes before roasting to ensure even cooking.
  • Cut potatoes evenly to allow uniform roasting and avoid drying out.
  • Pat potatoes dry thoroughly before tossing with oil to improve crispiness.
  • Toss or flip potatoes halfway through baking to achieve an even golden crust.
  • Fresh rosemary is preferred over dried for superior aroma and flavor; reduce dried rosemary quantity if substituting.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container refrigerated up to 3 days; reheat in a hot oven or skillet to restore crispiness.
  • Freezing is possible but may affect texture; freeze in a single layer first and reheat after thawing for best results.
