Roasted Rosemary Potatoes

By Addie

Nothing beats a roasted potato laced with garlic and fresh rosemary. They’re crispy and puffed on the outside; fluffy and delicate on the inside. A must in everyone’s repertoire.

Ingredients

• 1 clove garlic, smashed and peeled
• 2 pounds red potatoes, scrubbed (about 8 medium)
• 3 tablespoons olive oil
• 3/4 teaspoon kosher salt
• 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
• 2 tablespoons fresh rosemary leaves (about 2 sprigs)

Preparation

Step 1

Heat the oven (with oven rack in the middle) to 425°F. Rub a rimmed sheet pan with the smashed garlic then discard. Quarter the potatoes. On the sheet pan, toss together the potatoes, oil, salt and pepper (12 turns on pepper mill) and arrange cut-side down. Roast for 25 to 30 minutes until they are golden brown on their undersides and release easily from the pan. Sprinkle with the rosemary. Using a spatula, turn the potatoes and continue to roast until tender, 10 to 15 minutes more.
