Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 1.5 pounds (680 grams) baby potatoes (halved)
Aromatics and Seasonings:
- 4 cloves garlic (minced)
- 2 tablespoons (30 milliliters) fresh rosemary (chopped)
Cooking and Seasoning Ingredients:
- 3 tablespoons (45 milliliters) olive oil
- Salt to taste
- Pepper to taste
Instructions
- Prepare a spacious baking sheet and heat the oven to a precise 400°F (200°C), ensuring an optimal roasting environment.
- Carefully slice baby potatoes into halves, creating even surfaces for maximum flavor absorption and crispy edges.
- Combine potatoes with fragrant rosemary sprigs, minced garlic, olive oil, salt, and freshly ground black pepper in a generous mixing bowl, thoroughly coating each potato piece.
- Arrange potatoes cut-side down on the baking sheet, spreading them in a single, uncrowded layer to promote even caramelization and crisp texture.
- Transfer the baking sheet to the preheated oven and roast for approximately 25-30 minutes, rotating the potatoes midway through cooking to ensure uniform golden-brown coloration and a perfectly crisp exterior.
- Remove potatoes from the oven when they display a gorgeous golden-brown crust and emit an enticing herbal aroma, indicating they are perfectly cooked and ready to serve.
Notes
- Ensure potatoes are cut to similar sizes for even cooking and consistent crispiness.
- Pat potatoes completely dry before tossing with oil to achieve maximum golden-brown exterior and prevent steaming.
- Use fresh rosemary for most intense flavor, but dried herbs work well in winter when fresh herbs are scarce.
- For dairy-free or vegan version, the recipe is naturally compliant – just confirm olive oil quality and use kosher salt.
