A simple and foolproof recipe for golden, crispy roasted potatoes infused with fresh rosemary and garlic, perfect as a flavorful side dish for any occasion.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 pounds Yukon Gold or red potatoes, washed and cut into 1-inch chunks
  • 2 tablespoons fresh rosemary, finely chopped
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • ½ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • Optional: 1 teaspoon smoked paprika or a pinch of red pepper flakes

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
  2. Wash and dry your potatoes thoroughly. Cut into 1-inch chunks, keeping them roughly the same size for even cooking.
  3. In a large mixing bowl, combine olive oil, minced garlic, chopped rosemary, salt, pepper, and optional smoked paprika or red pepper flakes. Add the potatoes and toss well until every piece is coated evenly.
  4. Spread the potatoes out in a single layer on a rimmed baking sheet, preferably with the cut side down. Avoid overcrowding to prevent steaming.
  5. Roast for 25 minutes in the preheated oven. Then, use a spatula or tongs to flip the potatoes gently to brown the other side.
  6. Continue roasting for another 15-20 minutes until golden brown and crispy outside but tender inside. If edges get too dark, loosely cover with foil.
  7. Remove from oven, taste a piece carefully, and add extra salt or fresh rosemary if desired. Serve hot.

Notes

Dry potatoes thoroughly before roasting for best crispiness. Avoid overcrowding the pan to prevent steaming. Flip potatoes only once halfway through roasting. Use fresh rosemary for best flavor. Optional additions include smoked paprika, red pepper flakes, or grated Parmesan after roasting.
