Ingredients

  • 16 small new potatoes
  • 1/4 cup good olive oil
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon chopped fresh rosemary or 1 teaspoon dried rosemary
  • Salt

Instructions

  1. Heat the oven to 425°F (220°C).
  2. Scrub the new potatoes well.
  3. If they are large, cut them into halves or quarters.
  4. Combine olive oil, minced garlic, chopped rosemary, salt, and freshly ground pepper in a bowl.
  5. Add the potatoes to the bowl and toss until they are evenly coated.
  6. Transfer the coated potatoes to a shallow baking dish.
  7. Roast, uncovered, until crisp on the outside and tender inside, about 20 minutes.

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.

Storage & Reheating

Leftover roasted potatoes can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, spread them on a baking sheet and warm in a preheated oven at 375°F (190°C) for about 10-15 minutes until heated through and crispy again.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I use larger potatoes for this recipe?

Yes, you can use larger potatoes; just cut them into smaller pieces to ensure they cook evenly. Aim for uniform sizes to achieve that perfect crispy exterior and tender inside. Adjust the roasting time accordingly if the pieces are significantly larger.

What if I don't have fresh garlic?

If fresh garlic isn't available, you can substitute with garlic powder. Use about 1/8 teaspoon of garlic powder for each clove of garlic. However, fresh garlic offers a more robust flavor, so adjust to your taste.
