Herb-Infused Rosemary Roast Potatoes Recipe

Print Recipe

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 lbs (900 g) Yukon Gold or Russet potatoes, peeled and cut into 1-inch chunks
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 sprigs fresh rosemary (or 1 tablespoon dried rosemary)
  • 3 cloves garlic, crushed
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped (optional, for garnish)
  • 1 teaspoon lemon zest (optional, for a fresh, citrusy kick)

Instructions

  • Preheat and Prep: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). While that’s happening, line a baking sheet with parchment paper or aluminum foil. This is one of those steps that makes cleanup so much easier—especially when you’re making crispy roast potatoes.
  • Boil the Potatoes: In a large pot, bring salted water to a boil. Add the potato chunks and cook for 7-10 minutes. You want them to start getting soft on the outside but still firm in the middle. Trust me, this par-boiling step is a game-changer for that crispy-on-the-outside, soft-on-the-inside texture.
  • Infuse the Oil: While the potatoes are boiling, grab a small saucepan and heat the olive oil on low. Toss in the rosemary sprigs and crushed garlic and let them sizzle gently for about 5 minutes. This process infuses the oil with the incredible aroma of the herbs and garlic without burning them. Remove the garlic and rosemary once they’ve done their job.
  • Toss and Season: Drain the potatoes and let them sit for a minute to dry out. Then transfer them to a large bowl. Pour your herb-infused oil over the potatoes, season generously with salt and pepper, and toss to coat. Every piece should be glistening in that fragrant oil.
  • Roast to Perfection: Spread the potatoes in a single layer on your baking sheet—don’t overcrowd them, or they’ll steam instead of roast. Pop them in the oven for 35-40 minutes, flipping them halfway through. When they’re done, they should be gorgeously golden with irresistibly crispy edges.
  • Garnish and Serve: Pull the potatoes out of the oven and sprinkle with fresh parsley and a bit of lemon zest if you’re feeling fancy. Serve immediately and watch them disappear!
