Rosemary Roasted Potatoes
Small potatoes are roasted whole after being coated with olive oil, minced garlic, shallots, fresh rosemary, salt, and pepper. Baking at 350°F results in tender potatoes flavored with aromatic herbs and garlic. The method includes piercing potatoes to allow steam escape and using oil generously for a moist, flavorful roast. This side dish features a balance of herbaceous scents and soft textures.
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.
