Rosemary and garlic roast potatoes are a delicious and simple side dish that complements any meal. With their crispy exterior and fluffy interior, these roast potatoes are infused with a rich flavor from fresh rosemary and garlic. Perfect for a family dinner or a special occasion, this recipe is sure to become a favorite.
Instructions:
Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F).
- Wash and scrub the potatoes thoroughly to remove any dirt. You can peel them if you prefer, but leaving the skin on adds texture and nutrients.
- Cut the potatoes into evenly sized chunks (about 1-2 inches). This ensures they cook uniformly.
- Place the potato chunks in a large pot and cover them with cold, salted water.
- Bring the water to a boil over high heat, then reduce to a simmer. Cook the potatoes for about 5 minutes, just until the edges start to soften but the centers are still firm.
- Drain the potatoes well and let them sit in a colander for a few minutes to allow the steam to evaporate.
- While the potatoes are draining, mince the garlic cloves finely.
- If using fresh rosemary, remove the leaves from the stems and chop them roughly. If using dried rosemary, measure out 1-2 teaspoons.
- Transfer the drained potatoes to a large bowl.
- Add the olive oil, minced garlic, chopped rosemary, and a generous amount of salt and pepper. Toss everything together until the potatoes are well coated.
- Spread the coated potatoes in a single layer on a large baking sheet, ensuring they have plenty of space to crisp up.
- Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and roast for about 30-40 minutes, turning the potatoes halfway through. They should be golden brown and crispy on the outside and tender on the inside.
7. Serve:
- Remove the potatoes from the oven and transfer them to a serving dish.
- Garnish with additional fresh rosemary if desired and serve hot.
Tips:
- For extra-crispy roast potatoes, make sure the potatoes are well-steamed dried before tossing them in the oil mixture.
- Using fresh rosemary is key to achieving the best flavor. However, if you don't have fresh rosemary, dried rosemary can be used as a substitute.
- Turn the potatoes occasionally while roasting to ensure even cooking and crispiness on all sides.
- You can add more garlic if you prefer a stronger garlic flavor, or add other herbs like thyme or parsley for variety.
These rosemary and garlic roast potatoes are crispy on the outside, soft on the inside, and packed with flavor. Easy to prepare and incredibly satisfying, this recipe will quickly become a staple in your culinary repertoire. Serve them alongside your favorite main dishes to elevate any meal with minimal effort.
