Method
Now that you’ve gathered all your ingredients, it’s time to start cooking up the rosemary roast potatoes with our step-by-step guide.
Preheat your oven to 220°C. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with olive oil.
Peel and cut the potatoes into even-sized chunks. Place them in a pot of salted water and rosemary, bring to a boil, and simmer for 12 minutes until just tender on the edges.
Drain and shake the potatoes in the pot to roughen their edges – this creates the crispy crust later on.
In a large bowl, mix the potatoes with olive oil, rosemary, garlic, salt, and pepper. Toss until everything is well coated.
Spread the potatoes evenly on your baking tray (avoid crowding). Roast for 35–40 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden brown and crisp.
Sprinkle with a little extra sea salt and fresh rosemary before serving. Serve hot and enjoy!
