Rosemary and Garlic Roasted Potatoes

These oven-roasted rosemary and garlic potatoes are filled with a deep rustic flavor and are extremely simple to make.  You can serve these potatoes to complement pretty much any savory dish whether it's fish, poultry, or meat. 

I love rosemary and really started using it while living in Israel. 

Here you can find rosemary growing in front of houses, in parks, and even used to decorate streets.   

If you've never seen rosemary except in a supermarket, this may sound a little strange to you.

This is because unlike many herbs used for cooking, rosemary isn't a small plant.

Believe it or not, in Mediterranean countries it's more often than not used as an evergreen shrub or hedge, which is why it's so easy to find!

In fact, when I make these potatoes, I usually just go for a short stroll in any direction and cut a few sprigs from one of the unkept shrubs. 

Though now, I just go to my neighbors' front yard because after tasting these potatoes, they said I can take some whenever I want. 

I love it because this way I always have organic rosemary on hand!

And if you like these rosemary and garlic potatoes, you may also like my roasted garlic potatoes or my roasted paprika potatoes.

Which potato variety yields the best texture? 

Most any potato can be used including baby potatoes, fingerling potatoes, and white waxy potatoes cut to size.

Yukon Gold potatoes give a creamy interior and a crispy skin.

Red potatoes stay firm and hold their shape well.

Russets produce the crispiest exterior but tend to be flakier inside.

How to store

Let cool completely. Then place in an air tight contain and refrigerate for 3 to 5 days.

How to reheat

Preheat to your oven 400°F (200°C). Spread potatoes on a baking sheet and heat for 10 to 15 minutes, tossing halfway through.

Recipe Tip

The longer you cook the rosemary in the oil, the stronger the flavor will be, but be careful not to overcook it.
