Italian potatoes

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:

4 potatoes
800g
1/3 cup olive oil
72g
2 garlic cloves
6g
1 tbsp rosemary
16g

Instructions:

1. Preheat the Oven:
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
2. Prepare the Potatoes:
- 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.
3. Season the Potatoes:
- 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.
4. Roast the Potatoes:
- 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.
5. Cooking Time:
- 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.
6. Check for Doneness:
- 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.
7. Serve:
- 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.
8. Enjoy:
- 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.

This Italian potatoes recipe is a versatile side dish that complements a variety of main courses. Whether you're hosting a dinner party or simply preparing a family meal, the aromatic blend of rosemary and garlic combined with the crispy texture of roasted potatoes will surely impress your guests. Enjoy the warm, comforting flavors of Italy with this easy-to-make dish.
