Rosemary potatoes are a delightful and flavorful side dish that pairs well with various main courses. This recipe combines the earthy aroma of rosemary with the rich taste of garlic and the crispiness of well-cooked potatoes for a delicious experience. Follow along for a straightforward guide on creating this tasty addition to your meal.
Instructions:
Preheat your oven to 200°C (390°F).
Wash and scrub the potatoes thoroughly to remove any dirt. You can peel them if you prefer, but leaving the skin on adds extra flavor and texture. Cut the potatoes into even-sized chunks, roughly 1-inch in diameter.
Peel the garlic cloves and mince them finely. You can use a garlic press if you have one, or simply chop them finely with a knife.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the potato chunks with the olive oil, minced garlic, and rosemary. Toss them well to ensure that the potatoes are evenly coated.
Spread the seasoned potato chunks in a single layer on a baking sheet. Make sure they are not overcrowded; this allows them to roast evenly and become crispy.
Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven. Roast the potatoes for about 25-30 minutes, or until they are golden brown and crispy on the outside, and fork-tender on the inside. Halfway through cooking, use a spatula to flip the potatoes to ensure even cooking.
After 25-30 minutes, check the potatoes for doneness. They should be crispy on the outside and tender when pierced with a fork. If needed, roast them for an additional 5 minutes.
Remove the potatoes from the oven and let them cool for a couple of minutes. Transfer them to a serving dish, and season with additional salt and pepper to taste if needed.
For an extra touch, you can sprinkle some freshly chopped parsley or grated Parmesan cheese on top before serving.
Tips:
- Use fresh rosemary for best results, as it provides a more vibrant flavor compared to dried rosemary.
- Cut the potatoes evenly to ensure they cook at the same rate, avoiding any undercooked pieces.
- Preheat your oven to achieve a consistent cooking temperature and crispiness.
- Toss the potatoes halfway through the cooking time to achieve even browning and crispiness.
- If you prefer a softer texture, you can boil the potatoes for 5-10 minutes before roasting.
Rosemary potatoes are a versatile and easy-to-make side dish that enhances any meal with their aromatic and savory flavors. By following the simple steps and keeping a few tips in mind, you can create a delicious and crispy dish that will surely be a hit at your dining table.
