Equipment

  • Equipment Needed: Baking sheet, mixing bowl, knife, cutting board, measuring cups and spoons

Ingredients
  

  • Ingredients
  • 2 lbs about 900g of potatoes (Yukon Gold or red potatoes work well)
  • 3 tablespoons of olive oil
  • 2-3 sprigs of fresh rosemary or 1 teaspoon dried rosemary
  • 4 cloves of garlic minced
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Optional: a squeeze of lemon juice or grated Parmesan cheese for serving

Instructions
 

  • Step-by-Step Instructions
  • Preheat the Oven: Start by preheating your oven to 425°F (220°C). This high temperature will help achieve a crispy exterior.
  • Prepare the Potatoes: Wash the potatoes thoroughly under cold water to remove any dirt. If you prefer, you can peel them, but I recommend leaving the skin on for extra flavor and nutrients. Cut the potatoes into evenly sized chunks, about 1 to 1.5 inches in size, to ensure even cooking.
  • Mix the Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the potato chunks, olive oil, minced garlic, salt, pepper, and rosemary. Toss everything together until the potatoes are evenly coated.
  • Arrange on Baking Sheet: Spread the potatoes in a single layer on a baking sheet. Make sure they are not overcrowded; this will help them roast rather than steam.
  • Roast the Potatoes: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and roast the potatoes for about 45-50 minutes, or until they are golden brown and crispy. Halfway through, give them a good stir to ensure they roast evenly.
  • Let Stand: Once done, remove the potatoes from the oven and let them stand for about 5 minutes. This resting time allows the flavors to settle.
  • Serve: Optionally, squeeze some lemon juice over the potatoes or sprinkle with grated Parmesan cheese before serving. Enjoy your Patate al Forno con Rosmarino alongside your favorite main dish.
  • Variations
  • Herb Mix: Feel free to experiment with different herbs like thyme, oregano, or sage for a different flavor profile.
  • Spicy Version: Add a pinch of red pepper flakes for some heat.
  • Vegetable Medley: Toss in other root vegetables like carrots or parsnips for added color and taste.
