Tips & Substitutions
For extra flavor, consider adding other herbs like thyme or oregano along with the rosemary. If you're short on time, pre-cooked or microwaveable potatoes can be a great shortcut. Alternatively, you can substitute olive oil with avocado oil for a different taste. Make sure to check the potatoes periodically while roasting to achieve that perfect golden color.
