Crispy rosemary and garlic potatoes are a delicious and savory side dish that pairs well with virtually any main course. This recipe combines the earthy flavor of rosemary with the rich taste of garlic to elevate the classic roasted potatoes to a new level of deliciousness. Using just a few simple ingredients, you can create a dish that is sure to impress family and friends.
Instructions:
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). This will ensure it’s hot enough to make your potatoes crispy.
- Wash the potatoes thoroughly to remove any dirt.
- Peel the potatoes if desired, though leaving the skins on can add extra texture and nutrients.
- Cut the potatoes into evenly sized wedges or cubes. This ensures they cook evenly.
- Peel and mince the garlic cloves.
- In a small saucepan, heat the olive oil over medium heat.
- Add the minced garlic to the oil and cook for about 1-2 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the garlic is fragrant but not browned. You want to infuse the oil with the garlic flavor without burning the garlic.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the cut potatoes, infused olive oil (with garlic), chopped rosemary, and a generous sprinkle of salt and pepper.
- Toss the potatoes thoroughly to ensure they are evenly coated with the oil and seasonings.
- Spread the seasoned potatoes in a single layer on a large baking sheet. Make sure they are not overcrowded, as this will help them crisp up nicely.
- Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, flipping the potatoes halfway through cooking to ensure they brown evenly on all sides.
- After 25-30 minutes, check the potatoes. They should be golden brown and crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. If they need more time, continue baking and check every 5 minutes until done.
- Remove the potatoes from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes.
- Transfer to a serving dish and garnish with additional fresh rosemary if desired.
- Enjoy your crispy rosemary and garlic potatoes as a delicious side dish to your favorite main course.
Tips:
- For extra crispy potatoes, parboil them before roasting. This helps to roughen the edges which crisp up nicely in the oven.
- Make sure to spread the potatoes in a single layer on the baking sheet, avoiding overcrowding, which can cause them to steam rather than roast.
- Toss the potatoes halfway through roasting to ensure even browning and crispiness on all sides.
- For an added flavor boost, sprinkle some grated Parmesan cheese over the potatoes in the last 5 minutes of roasting.
