Tuscan rosemary potatoes are a delightful and aromatic side dish that brings a taste of the Italian countryside to your table. With the perfect blend of olive oil, fresh rosemary, and a touch of salt, this recipe transforms simple potatoes into a flavorful and satisfying meal component. This dish pairs beautifully with a variety of main courses, making it a versatile addition to your culinary repertoire.
Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). This ensures the oven is hot and ready by the time you prepare the potatoes.
- Wash and scrub the potatoes thoroughly to remove any dirt. If you prefer, you can peel the potatoes, but leaving the skin on adds to the rustic flavor.
- Cut the potatoes into even-sized chunks, approximately 1 to 2 inches in size. Uniform pieces cook more evenly.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the potato chunks with the olive oil, ensuring they are evenly coated.
- Strip the rosemary leaves off their stems and chop roughly if needed. Add the rosemary to the bowl and mix well.
- Sprinkle a dash of salt over the potatoes. Adjust the quantity according to your taste preference.
- Toss everything together to ensure the potatoes are well-coated with the olive oil, rosemary, and salt.
- Spread the seasoned potato chunks in a single layer on a baking sheet. Ensure there is a little space between each piece to allow proper roasting.
- Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for about 35-45 minutes, or until the potatoes are golden brown and crispy on the outside and fork-tender on the inside.
- Halfway through the cooking time, use a spatula to turn the potatoes to promote even browning.
- Once done, remove the potatoes from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes.
- Transfer the Tuscan rosemary potatoes to a serving dish and serve hot.
Tips:
- Choose waxy potatoes like Yukon Gold or red potatoes for a better texture and flavor that holds up well during roasting.
- Make sure to cut the potatoes into even pieces to ensure they cook uniformly.
- For an extra crispy texture, parboil the potatoes for 5-7 minutes before roasting.
- Use fresh rosemary for a more vibrant and aromatic flavor, but dried rosemary can be substituted if fresh is unavailable.
- Spread the potatoes in a single layer without overcrowding the baking sheet. This allows for even roasting and prevents them from steaming.
Tuscan rosemary potatoes are an incredibly easy and flavorful dish that can elevate any meal. By following these simple steps and tips, you'll create perfectly roasted potatoes with a crispy exterior and tender interior, infused with the delightful aromas of rosemary and olive oil.
