Nothing beats a roasted potato laced with garlic and fresh rosemary. They’re crispy and puffed on the outside; fluffy and delicate on the inside. A must in everyone’s repertoire.

Roasted Rosemary Potatoes
Heat the oven (with oven rack in the middle) to 425°F.
Smash 1 clove garlic.
Peel.
Rub a rimmed sheet pan with the smashed garlic then discard.
Quarter 2 pounds (about 8 medium) of red potatoes. Place on a rimmed sheet pan.
Drizzle with 3 tablespoons olive oil.
Season with ½ teaspoon kosher salt.
Season with ¼ teaspoon freshly ground pepper (12 turns on pepper mill).
Toss and arrange the potatoes cut-side down.
Roast potatoes for 25 to 30 minutes until golden brown and release easily from the pan. Pull rosemary leaves from the sprig (gently pull in opposite direction.)
Sprinkle the rosemary over the potatoes.
Using a spatula, turn the potatoes so the other cut-side is facing down and continue to roast until the potatoes are tender, 10 to 15 minutes more.
Enjoy.

helpful hints
- Buy potatoes that are uniform in size for even roasting
- Smash garlic using the flat side of your chef’s knife
