Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 2 pounds (0.9 kilograms) new red potatoes, quartered
Seasoning Ingredients:
- 1 teaspoon dried rosemary, crushed
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
Oil:
- 1/4 cup (60 milliliters) olive oil
Instructions
- Elevate the oven temperature to a scorching 450°F, positioning the rack in the center for optimal heat circulation.
- Slice the new red potatoes into uniform quarters, ensuring even cooking and crispy edges.
- In a spacious mixing vessel, drizzle olive oil generously over the potato segments, creating a glistening coating.
- Sprinkle rosemary, minced garlic powder, kosher salt, and freshly cracked black pepper across the potatoes, massaging the seasonings to ensure complete and even distribution.
- Transfer the seasoned potatoes onto a rimmed baking sheet, arranging them in a single, uncrowded layer to promote maximum caramelization and crisp exterior.
- Slide the baking sheet into the preheated oven, allowing the potatoes to roast for 25-35 minutes, rotating the pan midway to guarantee uniform golden-brown coloration.
- Monitor the potatoes’ transformation, watching for a crispy exterior and tender interior with edges turning deep golden and slightly crunchy.
- Extract the roasted potatoes from the oven, letting them rest momentarily to develop additional texture and release aromatic herbs.
- Serve immediately while piping hot, presenting a rustic and inviting side dish that showcases the natural beauty of new red potatoes.
Notes
- Use a heavy-bottomed baking sheet to ensure even browning and prevent burning of the potatoes.
- Choose smaller new red potatoes for more consistent cooking and a tender texture throughout.
- Pat the potato pieces dry before seasoning to help achieve maximum crispiness and better oil adherence.
- Experiment with different herbs like thyme or oregano to create unique flavor variations while maintaining the classic roasted potato profile.
