Expert Tips
- Try to cut potatoes into uniform shapes and sizes so they roast evenly.
- Be sure to line your baking sheet or you will have potatoes stuck and a mess to clean up! If you don't have parchment paper, use aluminum foil.
- Garnish with rosemary sprigs and a sprinkle of parmesan cheese and/or flake salt, if desired.
- Be sure to spread the potatoes out in a single layer so they have space to get crispy.
- If rosemary isn't your favorite, try other fresh herbs like thyme or fresh parsley.
- Try seasoning with 2 teaspoons of Italian seasoning in place of the fresh herbs.
FAQ
I really recommend using fresh rosemary sprigs for this. I think it provides the best flavor. If you don't have access to fresh rosemary, you could substitute dried rosemary. I would use 2 teaspoons of dried rosemary in place of the fresh rosemary.
You can roast pretty much any potato, as they are all quite tasty. For this recipe, I would say red potatoes, Yukon gold potatoes or russet potatoes would be best.
There is no need to peel the potatoes before roasting them. The red potatoes have a thin skin that is actually full of nutrients. All you need to do is thoroughly wash the outside of the potatoes before cutting them.
Storing and Freezing
Store cooled leftover potatoes in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, warm them in the microwave or pop back into a 400°F oven or air fryer until heated through.
Freezing is not recommended for this recipe.
