Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 medium golden potatoes
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
- 2 teaspoons fresh rosemary
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Begin by washing the golden potatoes thoroughly under cold water to remove any dirt. Pat them dry with a clean kitchen towel.
Using a fork, poke several holes into each potato to allow steam to escape during baking.
In a large bowl, combine olive oil, salt, pepper, garlic powder, and finely chopped fresh rosemary.
Roll each potato in the olive oil mixture ensuring they are thoroughly coated.
Place the potatoes on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or aluminum foil for easier cleanup.
Bake in the preheated oven for 45-50 minutes or until the potatoes are golden brown and a fork can be easily inserted into the center.
Once baked, remove the potatoes from the oven and allow them to cool for a few minutes before serving.
Serve the baked golden potatoes as a delicious side, garnished with a sprinkle of additional rosemary or your choice of toppings like sour cream or cheese.
