Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pounds Yukon Gold potatoes
- 2 tablespoons Fresh rosemary
- 4 whole Garlic cloves
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1.5 teaspoons Salt
- 1 teaspoon Black pepper
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
Scrub the potatoes clean and peel them if desired. Cut them into evenly sized chunks, about 1-2 inches each.
Place the potato chunks into a large pot, cover them with water, and add a pinch of salt. Bring the water to a boil and simmer the potatoes for 5-7 minutes until they are slightly tender but not fully cooked.
Drain the potatoes well and return them to the pot. Shake the pot gently to rough up the edges of the potatoes—this helps create a crispy exterior.
In a large roasting pan, drizzle the olive oil and spread it evenly. Add the potatoes to the pan, ensuring each piece is coated lightly in oil.
Scatter the rosemary leaves and garlic cloves (left unpeeled for milder flavor) over the potatoes. Sprinkle with salt and black pepper.
Roast the potatoes in the oven for 40-45 minutes, turning them halfway through the cooking time to ensure even browning and crispiness.
When the potatoes are golden and crispy on the outside, remove them from the oven and discard the garlic skins if desired.
Serve immediately as a delicious side dish, garnished with an extra sprig of rosemary if desired.
