Ingredients:
- 2 pounds baby potatoes (or small Yukon Gold potatoes)
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons fresh rosemary, chopped (or 1 tablespoon dried)
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Optional: additional rosemary sprigs for garnish
Instructions:
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
- Prepare the Potatoes: Wash the baby potatoes thoroughly and cut them in half if they are larger. For smaller ones, you can leave them whole.
- Season the Potatoes: In a large bowl, combine the olive oil, minced garlic, chopped rosemary, salt, and pepper. Add the potatoes and toss well to coat them evenly with the seasoning mixture.
- Arrange on Baking Sheet: Spread the seasoned potatoes in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, cut side down if halved. This helps achieve a crispy bottom.
- Roast: Roast in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until the potatoes are golden brown and tender, tossing them halfway through for even cooking.
- Serve: Once done, remove from the oven and let them cool for a couple of minutes. Transfer to a serving dish, garnish with additional rosemary sprigs if desired, and serve warm.
These Roast Potatoes with Garlic and Rosemary are a simple yet flavorful addition to any meal, bringing warmth and comfort to your dining experience. Enjoy the delicious aroma and satisfying crunch with every bite!
