Ingredients
Instructions
- Heat the oven to 425°F (220°C).
- Scrub the new potatoes well.
- If they are large, cut them into halves or quarters.
- Combine olive oil, minced garlic, chopped rosemary, salt, and freshly ground pepper in a bowl.
- Add the potatoes to the bowl and toss until they are evenly coated.
- Transfer the coated potatoes to a shallow baking dish.

Tips & Substitutions
For extra flavor, consider adding a splash of lemon juice or zest to the olive oil mixture. If you don't have fresh rosemary, dried works well but use half the amount. You can also substitute other herbs like thyme or oregano for a different flavor profile. Ensure even cooking by choosing potatoes of similar size.
Serving Suggestions
These roast new potatoes make a delightful side dish for grilled meats or fish, pairing especially well with Chicken Mediterranean. For a complete meal, serve alongside a fresh Spinach, Rice And Bell Pepper Salad. They are also excellent topped with a sprinkle of fresh herbs or crumbled feta cheese.
