Rosemary roast potatoes are a delicious and aromatic side dish that compliments a variety of main courses. The combination of crispy potatoes with the fragrant rosemary and olive oil makes for a simple yet flavorful dish that is sure to please any palate.
Instructions:
1. Preheat the Oven:
- Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) to ensure it’s hot when the potatoes are ready to go in.
2. Prepare the Potatoes:
- Wash the potatoes thoroughly to remove any dirt.
- Peel the potatoes if desired, or leave the skins on for extra texture.
- Cut the potatoes into evenly sized chunks, approximately 1-inch pieces. Consistency in size helps them cook evenly.
3. Season the Potatoes:
- Place the potato chunks in a large mixing bowl.
- Drizzle the olive oil over the potatoes.
- Sprinkle the rosemary and salt onto the potatoes.
- Use your hands or a large spoon to toss the potatoes, ensuring they are evenly coated with olive oil, rosemary, and salt.
4. Arrange on Baking Sheet:
- Spread the seasoned potatoes out on a large baking sheet in a single layer. Make sure they aren’t too crowded; this helps them roast evenly and become crisp.
5. Roast in the Oven:
- Place the baking sheet with potatoes in the preheated oven.
- Roast for 25-30 minutes, flipping the potatoes halfway through cooking to ensure they brown evenly on all sides.
6. Check for Doneness:
- Pierce the potatoes with a fork to check if they are tender and golden brown. If they are not quite done, continue roasting for an additional 5-10 minutes.
7. Serve:
- Once done, remove the baking sheet from the oven.
- Allow the potatoes to cool slightly before transferring them to a serving dish.
8. Garnish (Optional):
- Garnish with a sprinkle of fresh rosemary or a pinch of sea salt for added flavor.
9. Enjoy:
- Serve your rosemary roast potatoes warm as a delicious side dish for any meal!
Tips:
- Choose starchy potatoes like Russets or Yukon Golds for extra crispiness.
- Make sure to cut the potatoes evenly to ensure they cook at the same rate.
- Preheat the oven to around 425°F (220°C) to get the perfect roast.
- Toss the potatoes halfway through cooking for even browning.
- For an extra burst of flavor, add a few cloves of garlic or a sprinkle of parmesan cheese before serving.
