Tips & Substitutions
For best results, choose potatoes that are similar in size for even cooking. If fresh rosemary isn't available, dried rosemary can be used, but reduce the amount to 1 teaspoon. Adding a dash of paprika or cayenne can give the potatoes a nice kick. To enhance the garlic flavor, slice the clove instead of mincing it, allowing for a milder infusion during roasting.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use other types of potatoes for this recipe?
Yes, while red new potatoes are ideal for their waxy texture, you can substitute with Yukon Gold or fingerling potatoes. Just ensure they are cut into similar sizes for even cooking.

To achieve a crispy exterior, ensure the oven is fully preheated before placing the potatoes inside. Additionally, spreading them out in a single layer and avoiding overcrowding in the baking dish will help them roast perfectly.
What can I add for extra flavor?
