Ingredients
Instructions
- In a greased 13 x 9-inch baking dish, arrange the raw quartered potatoes.
- In a bowl, stir together olive oil, minced garlic, dried rosemary, salt, and pepper.
- Pour the mixture over the potatoes.
- Toss to coat all the potatoes evenly.
- Bake, uncovered, in a 450°F oven for about 25 minutes or until brown and tender.
Tips & Substitutions
For extra flavor, consider adding fresh rosemary instead of dried. You can also substitute the garlic with garlic powder if desired. To ensure even cooking, make sure the potatoes are cut into uniform sizes. If you like a crispier texture, broil for an additional 2-3 minutes at the end of baking.
Serving Suggestions
These roasted potatoes make a delightful side dish for any meal. They pair beautifully with Mediterranean recipes like Lenten Pea Soup or Green Beans With Walnuts. Serve alongside grilled meats or a fresh salad for a complete meal.

Store leftover roasted potatoes 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 400°F for about 10-15 minutes, or until heated through and crispy.
