Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pounds small golden potatoes
- 3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 2 tablespoons fresh rosemary
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
Wash and dry the golden potatoes. Cut each potato into quarters if they are small or into sixths if larger, aiming for uniform pieces for even cooking.
In a large bowl, combine the olive oil, rosemary, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper.
Add the potato wedges to the bowl and toss them thoroughly to ensure each piece is coated with the olive oil mixture.
Spread the potatoes in a single layer on a large baking sheet, making sure not to crowd them to allow for optimal crispiness.
Roast the potatoes in the preheated oven for about 20 minutes. After 20 minutes, use a spatula to turn the potatoes over to encourage even browning on all sides.
Continue roasting for an additional 15-20 minutes until the potatoes are golden brown and crispy on the outside, soft and tender on the inside.
Remove from the oven and allow to cool for a few minutes before serving. Serve hot as a side dish with your favorite main course.
