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
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
Step 2
Scrub the potatoes clean and peel them if desired. Cut them into evenly sized chunks, about 1-2 inches each.
Step 3
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.
Step 4
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.
Step 5
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.
Step 6
Scatter the rosemary leaves and garlic cloves (left unpeeled for milder flavor) over the potatoes. Sprinkle with salt and black pepper.
Step 7
Roast the potatoes in the oven for 40-45 minutes, turning them halfway through the cooking time to ensure even browning and crispiness.
Step 8
When the potatoes are golden and crispy on the outside, remove them from the oven and discard the garlic skins if desired.
Step 9
Serve immediately as a delicious side dish, garnished with an extra sprig of rosemary if desired.
