Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pounds fingerling potatoes
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 4 pieces garlic cloves
- 2 sprigs fresh rosemary
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- 0.5 teaspoons black pepper
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
Wash and scrub the fingerling potatoes thoroughly under running water; pat them dry with a clean kitchen towel.
Slice the potatoes in half lengthwise to ensure even cooking and crisp edges.
Peel and smash the garlic cloves with the flat side of a knife, keeping them whole to infuse the oil with flavor during roasting.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the halved potatoes, olive oil, smashed garlic cloves, leaves from the rosemary sprigs, kosher salt, and black pepper. Toss well to coat the potatoes evenly.
Spread the seasoned potatoes out in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, cut side down for maximum crispness.
Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and roast for 30-35 minutes, tossing halfway through to ensure even browning.
Check for doneness by piercing the potatoes with a fork; they should be golden brown and tender on the inside.
Remove the potatoes from the oven and transfer to a serving platter. Optionally, garnish with additional fresh rosemary for added aroma and presentation.
Serve hot as a side dish to complement your favorite protein or enjoy as a standalone snack.
