Rosemary Roasted Baby Potatoes
Description
This recipe uses baby potatoes, rinsed and dried, with larger ones halved to ensure even cooking. Coating them well in olive oil and seasoning with salt, garlic powder, dried crushed rosemary, black pepper, and optionally smoked paprika creates a flavorful, slightly spiced crust during roasting. Roasting at 425°F for 25-30 minutes delivers a balance of browning and tenderness inside the potatoes.
The texture contrasts a crisp outer layer with a moist, fluffy interior. The rosemary adds a woody, pine-like note that complements the mild richness of the potatoes and garlic powder. Serving these alongside roasted meats, grilled dishes, or as part of a vegetarian plate highlights their savory profile and satisfying texture.
Slight variations in potato size may affect cooking time; testing tenderness with a fork before removing from the oven ensures perfect doneness. Fresh rosemary can replace dried by increasing quantity slightly, and fresh minced garlic may be used instead of powder for a more pungent garlic flavor.
Ingredients
- 1 ½ pounds baby potato
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- ½ teaspoon kosher salt or to taste
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon rosemary slightly crushed, dried
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
- ¼ teaspoon smoked paprika optional
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 425°F.
- Rinse and dry potatoes. If potatoes are on the bigger side, cut them in half.
- Toss potatoes with olive oil and herbs until coated.
- Roast 25-30 minutes or until browned and tender.
Notes
- This method works for any potato cut into bite-sized pieces, not just baby potatoes.
- Dried rosemary can be substituted with 1 ½ teaspoons fresh rosemary, slightly crushed.
- Fresh minced garlic can replace garlic powder for a more intense garlic flavor.
- Monitor potatoes towards end of cooking time to avoid overcooking and maintain a tender interior.
