Instructions:
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Wash and peel the potatoes if desired. You can also leave the skin on for added texture and flavor.
- Cut the potatoes into bite-sized cubes or wedges, ensuring they are fairly uniform in size for even cooking.
- Place the potato pieces in a large mixing bowl.
- Drizzle the olive oil over the potatoes.
- Add the rosemary to the bowl. If you're using fresh rosemary, you may want to chop it finely.
- Season with salt and pepper to taste, if using.
- Toss the potatoes thoroughly to ensure they are evenly coated with oil, rosemary, and seasoning.
- Spread the seasoned potatoes in a single layer on a baking sheet. Line the baking sheet with parchment paper or aluminum foil for easier cleanup.
- Make sure the potatoes are not too crowded to allow them to roast evenly and become crispy.
- Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven.
- Roast the potatoes for 25 to 35 minutes, flipping them halfway through the cooking time. Roasting time may vary depending on the size of your potato pieces and your oven.
- The potatoes are done when they are golden brown and crispy on the outside, and tender on the inside.
- Remove the potatoes from the oven and transfer them to a serving dish.
- Optionally, you can garnish with a little extra fresh rosemary for presentation and an added burst of flavor.
- Serve the roasted potatoes with rosemary as a delightful side dish with your favorite main course.

- Add salt and pepper to taste before serving to enhance the flavors.
- For an extra burst of flavor, consider adding minced garlic or a squeeze of lemon juice before serving.
