Instructions:
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) to get it ready for roasting.

- Place the potato cubes into a large mixing bowl.
- Melt 4 tablespoons of butter either in a microwave or on the stove.
- Pour the melted butter over the potato cubes.
- Add 2 teaspoons of rosemary, a dash of salt, and a dash of black pepper. The rosemary can be fresh or dried; adjust the amount accordingly if you're using fresh rosemary.
Toss the potatoes to ensure they are evenly coated with butter, rosemary, salt, and black pepper. You can use a spoon or your hands to mix.
- Spread the seasoned potato cubes out in a single layer on a baking sheet. Ensure they are not overcrowded, as this will help them roast more evenly and become crispy.
- Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven.
- Roast the potatoes for about 30-35 minutes, or until they are golden brown and crispy on the outside. You can check for doneness by piercing a potato cube with a fork; it should be tender inside.
About halfway through the roasting time, take the potatoes out and give them a good stir or shake to ensure even cooking.
Once roasted and crispy, remove the potatoes from the oven.
Transfer them to a serving dish and serve immediately while hot.
