Wash the Desire potatoes thoroughly and cut them into bite-sized cubes (approximately 2 cm). Pat them dry using a clean kitchen towel or paper towels to remove excess moisture.
Peel the garlic cloves and lightly crush them with the side of a knife. Keep the cloves whole for a milder garlic flavor, or finely chop them for a stronger taste.
Heat 3 tablespoons of olive oil in a large non-stick skillet or frying pan over medium heat.
Add the potato cubes to the pan and arrange them in a single layer. Sprinkle with 1 teaspoon of salt and 1 teaspoon of freshly ground black pepper. Let the potatoes cook undisturbed for 5-7 minutes until the bottoms are golden brown and crispy.
Flip the potatoes gently with a spatula, ensuring even browning on all sides. Cook for another 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Add the garlic cloves and the fresh rosemary sprigs to the pan. Toss the ingredients together so that the garlic and rosemary coat the potatoes and infuse their aroma. Cook for 2 minutes.
Carefully pour in 100 milliliters of water into the pan to help the potatoes soften. Cover the pan with a lid and lower the heat to medium-low. Let the potatoes steam for 7-10 minutes until they are tender but still hold their shape. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.
Remove the lid and increase the heat to medium-high. Cook for another 2-3 minutes to evaporate any remaining water and re-crisp the potatoes.
Discard the rosemary sprigs and serve the potatoes hot as a side dish, garnished with fresh rosemary leaves if desired.
