Italian potatoes are a delightful side dish that combines the simplicity of fresh ingredients with the rich flavors of Mediterranean cuisine. This recipe is easy to prepare and brings a touch of Italy to your dining table. With just a few ingredients, you can create a dish that's crispy on the outside, tender on the inside, and infused with the aromatic essence of garlic and rosemary.
Ingredients:
Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Wash and peel the potatoes if desired (peeling is optional based on personal preference).
- Cut the potatoes into wedges or large chunks, ensuring they are roughly the same size for even cooking.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the potato wedges with olive oil, minced garlic, and chopped rosemary.
- Toss the potatoes well to ensure that they are evenly coated with the oil, garlic, and rosemary.
- Spread the seasoned potatoes in a single layer on a baking sheet or in a roasting pan. Ensure they are not overcrowded for optimal crisping.
- Place the pan in the preheated oven.
- Roast the potatoes for 35-40 minutes, flipping them halfway through the cooking time to ensure they cook evenly and develop a nice golden-brown color on all sides.
- The potatoes are done when they are crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. You can test this by piercing a potato with a fork; it should go in easily.
- Remove the potatoes from the oven and let them sit for a minute or two.
- Transfer the roasted potatoes to a serving dish.
- Optionally, you can sprinkle some additional fresh rosemary or a pinch of sea salt over the top for extra flavor.
- Serve your Italian Potatoes hot as a delicious side dish or enjoy them on their own!
Tips:
- Choose a starchy variety of potato like Russet or Yukon Gold for the best texture.
- For an extra crispy finish, you can parboil the potato chunks for 5-7 minutes before tossing them in the olive oil and roasting.
- You can also add other herbs like thyme or oregano for additional flavor.
- If you prefer a milder garlic flavor, use whole garlic cloves instead of minced.
