Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 1 pound Baby Potatoes
Supporting Seasonings:
- 3 tablespoons Olive Oil
- 4 cloves Garlic
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- ½ teaspoon Pepper
Herbs and Optional Additions:
- 2 tablespoons Fresh Rosemary
- Parmesan Cheese
- Other Herbs
- Lemon Zest
- Chili Flakes
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to precisely 400°F and position the rack in the center for even roasting.
- Thoroughly rinse 1 pound of baby potatoes under cold water, then pat completely dry with paper towels.
- Slice larger potatoes in half to ensure uniform cooking, keeping smaller ones whole.
- Grab a spacious mixing bowl and toss the potatoes with 3 tablespoons olive oil, coating each potato thoroughly.
- Mince 4 garlic cloves finely and sprinkle them over the potatoes, along with 2 tablespoons fresh chopped rosemary.
- Season the potatoes with 1 teaspoon salt and ½ teaspoon pepper, using your hands to distribute seasonings evenly.
- Spread the seasoned potatoes on a rimmed baking sheet, ensuring they’re in a single layer without overcrowding.
- Roast the potatoes at 400°F for 25-30 minutes, using tongs to flip them halfway through cooking time.
- Check potato doneness by piercing with a fork – they should be golden brown and crisp on the outside, tender inside.
- Transfer roasted potatoes to a serving platter and sprinkle with optional parmesan or fresh herbs if desired.
Notes
- Ensure potatoes are similar in size for even cooking and consistent crispiness.
- Pat the potatoes completely dry before seasoning to help achieve a perfect golden-brown exterior.
- Use a heavy-bottomed baking sheet to promote even heat distribution and prevent burning.
- For extra flavor, experiment with different herbs like thyme or add grated Parmesan cheese during the last 5 minutes of roasting.
