Welcome to a simple yet delightful recipe for Crispy, Crunchy Potato Bites. Made with just four basic ingredients—potatoes, olive oil, rosemary, and garlic—this dish offers a burst of flavor and a perfect texture that will make a delicious addition to any meal.

Instructions:

1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
2. Prepare Potatoes: Peel the potatoes if desired (you can leave the skin on for extra crunch and nutrients). Cut the potatoes into bite-sized pieces, roughly 1 inch in size.
3. Blanch Potatoes: Fill a large pot with water and bring it to a boil. Add a generous pinch of salt to the water. Add the potato pieces and blanch them for about 5 minutes. This helps to make the insides tender. Drain the potatoes and let them rest and steam dry for a few minutes.
4. Season Potatoes: In a large mixing bowl, combine the olive oil, chopped rosemary, and minced garlic. Add the blanched potato pieces and toss them until they are evenly coated with the oil, rosemary, and garlic mixture. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
5. Arrange on Baking Sheet: Spread the seasoned potato pieces in a single layer on a baking sheet. It's important they are spread out and not touching, to ensure they get crispy.
6. Bake: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven. Bake for 25-30 minutes, stirring occasionally to ensure even cooking, until the potatoes are golden brown and crispy on the outside.
7. Serve: Remove the potato bites from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes before serving. This allows them to reach maximum crunchiness. Serve hot, garnished with additional rosemary if desired.

Tips:

- Choose the Right Potatoes: Opt for starchy potatoes like Russet or Yukon Golds for the crispiest texture.

- Uniform Sizing: Cut the potatoes into evenly-sized bites to ensure they cook evenly.

- Preheat Oven: Make sure your oven is fully preheated to 400°F (200°C) before placing the potatoes inside for the best roast.

- Coat Evenly: Toss the potato bites thoroughly in the olive oil, rosemary, and garlic mixture to get an even coating and maximize flavor.

- Don't Overcrowd: Spread the potato bites in a single layer on the baking sheet to ensure they become crispy and not soggy.

- Flip Halfway: Flip the potato bites halfway through the cooking time to ensure they're golden brown on all sides.

There you have it—delicious, crispy, and flavorful potato bites that are simple to make and sure to be a hit at any gathering. Follow these tips, and you'll achieve perfect potato bites every time. Enjoy!
