Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) to ensure it's hot and ready for roasting.
- Wash and scrub the baby potatoes thoroughly to remove any dirt. You can leave the skin on for added texture and flavor.

- In a large mixing bowl, combine the potatoes with the minced garlic, olive oil, rosemary, and salt. Toss everything well to ensure the potatoes are evenly coated.
