Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound Baby potatoes (or small Yukon Gold potatoes)
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 3 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
- 1 tablespoon Fresh rosemary, chopped (or 1 teaspoon dried rosemary)
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon Paprika (optional, for added flavor)
Instructions
Wash and dry the potatoes thoroughly. If using baby potatoes, leave them whole or slice any larger ones in half so they are evenly sized.
Heat a large skillet or frying pan over medium heat and add the olive oil.
Once the oil is hot, add the potatoes to the pan in a single layer. Let them cook undisturbed for 4-5 minutes to develop a golden crust on one side.
Flip the potatoes using tongs or a spatula to brown the other sides. Cook for an additional 4-5 minutes, stirring occasionally to ensure even browning.
Reduce the heat to low and add the minced garlic, chopped rosemary, salt, black pepper, and paprika (if using). Stir everything together to coat the potatoes in the seasoning.
Cover the pan with a lid and let the potatoes cook for another 7-8 minutes or until they are tender when pierced with a fork.
Remove the lid and give the potatoes a final stir. Adjust seasoning with more salt or pepper if needed.
Serve the pan-roasted potatoes hot as a side dish or enjoy them on their own!
