Instructions:

1. Preheat the Oven:
- Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
2. Prepare the Potatoes:
- Peel the potatoes and cut them into evenly sized cubes, about 1 inch in size.
3. Parboil the Potatoes:
- Fill a large pot with water and bring it to a boil.
- Add a generous pinch of salt and the potato cubes.
- Boil the potatoes for about 5-7 minutes or until they are just starting to soften but are still firm in the middle.
4. Drain and Season:
- Drain the potatoes thoroughly in a colander and let them sit for a few minutes to steam dry. This helps to achieve a crispy texture.
- Transfer the potatoes to a large bowl.
5. Add the Flavors:
- Drizzle the olive oil over the potatoes.
- Add the minced garlic and chopped rosemary.
- Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Toss the potatoes well to ensure they are evenly coated with the oil, garlic, rosemary, and seasonings.
6. Roast the Potatoes:
- Spread the seasoned potatoes out in a single layer on a large baking sheet, ensuring they have enough space to crisp up. You may need to use two baking sheets to avoid overcrowding.
- Place the baking sheets in the preheated oven.
7. Cook Until Golden and Crisp:
- Roast the potatoes for 25-30 minutes, turning them halfway through the cooking time to ensure they brown evenly on all sides.
- The potatoes should be golden brown and crispy on the outside, and tender on the inside.
8. Serve:
- Remove the potatoes from the oven and transfer them to a serving dish.
- Garnish with an extra sprinkle of fresh rosemary if desired.
9. Enjoy:
- Serve immediately while hot and crispy. These potatoes make a fantastic side dish for any meal!

Tips:

- Choose a starchy potato like Russet or Yukon Gold for the best texture.

- Cut the potatoes into even sizes to ensure they cook uniformly.

- Parboil the potatoes for a few minutes before roasting to make them extra crispy.

- Give the potatoes plenty of room on the baking sheet to allow air to circulate and crisp them up.

- Toss the potatoes halfway through cooking to ensure even browning.

- Season with extra salt or finish with a sprinkle of Parmesan cheese for added flavor.
