Rosemary Roasted Potatoes
Description
Rosemary Roasted Potatoes use small whole potatoes seasoned with a combination of fresh rosemary, minced garlic, and sliced shallots, all tossed in extra virgin olive oil along with salt and pepper. The potatoes are pierced before roasting to help steam escape, ensuring they cook evenly.
Roasting at 350°F for about 50 minutes softens the potatoes until tender while infusing them with the fragrant aroma of herbs and garlic. The inclusion of shallots adds subtle sweetness and layers flavor complexity. Using fresh rosemary minced finely ensures an even distribution of herbal notes throughout the dish.
The recipe suggests using evenly sized potatoes for uniform cooking, or cutting larger ones in half. No peeling is required since the skins are thin and edible, preserving nutrients and a rustic texture. Ample oil coating prevents drying and assists in browning, and a low-sided baking dish or metal sheet pan helps avoid trapping steam, which can make the potatoes soggy.
Ingredients
- 1 pound potato small
- 3 Tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 5 cloves garlic minced
- 1 piece shallot thinly sliced
- 1 Tablespoon rosemary about 3 sprigs, minced fresh
- salt to taste
- black pepper to taste
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
- Using a fork, poke holes throughout the potatoes.
- Mix all the ingredients in a bowl and make sure the potatoes are thoroughly coated.
- Pour everything into a baking dish and bake until the potatoes are tender - about 50 minutes.
Notes
- Choose evenly sized small potatoes or halve larger ones for even roasting.
- To easily strip rosemary leaves, pull the sprigs through a grater’s holes to separate leaves from stems.
- Leave skins on to retain nutrients and add rustic texture, as thin skins roast well.
- Use generous olive oil coating to keep potatoes moist and promote browning.
- Roast on a baking dish with low sides or a metal sheet pan to avoid steaming and sogginess.
