Ingredients
Scale
Potatoes
- 3 pounds small Yukon gold potatoes
Seasoning & Flavorings
- 6 tablespoons salted butter, melted
- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh rosemary
- 3 rosemary sprigs
- 4-6 cloves garlic, smashed
- Kosher salt, to taste
- Black pepper, to taste
- Flaky sea salt, for serving
Instructions
- Preheat the oven: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) to ensure it reaches a high temperature for crispy roasting.
- Prepare the potatoes: Wash the Yukon gold potatoes thoroughly and dry them. If the potatoes are large, cut them in halves or quarters so they are uniformly sized for even cooking.
- Melt the butter and combine flavors: Melt the salted butter in a small saucepan or microwave. Add the chopped fresh rosemary and smashed garlic cloves into the butter to infuse the flavors.
- Toss potatoes with butter mixture: In a large bowl, toss the potatoes with the melted butter mixture until they are evenly coated. Season generously with kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper.
- Roast the potatoes: Spread the potatoes out on a rimmed baking sheet in a single layer. Arrange the rosemary sprigs on top to infuse aroma. Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and roast for about 35-45 minutes, turning the potatoes halfway through, until they are golden brown and crispy on the outside and tender on the inside.
- Finish and serve: Remove the rosemary sprigs. Sprinkle flaky sea salt over the roasted potatoes for added crunch and flavor. Serve hot as a delicious side dish.
Notes
- You can substitute fresh rosemary with dried rosemary, but fresh provides a more vibrant taste.
- Make sure the potatoes are dry before roasting to achieve maximum crispiness.
- Use a rimmed baking sheet to prevent butter and oils from spilling over while roasting.
- Adjust garlic quantity based on your preference for garlickiness.
- These potatoes pair beautifully with roasted meats, grilled chicken, or a fresh salad.
