Crispy Garlic and Rosemary Roasted Potatoes

Author: Flavelo
Recipes Side Dishes
The secret to perfect roasted potatoes is surface area and heat. If potatoes are crowded, they steam instead of roast, becoming soft but not crispy. High heat and plenty of space allow the starch to caramelize, forming that irresistible golden crust.

Ingredients

Equipment Needed

  • Large baking sheet (so potatoes aren't crowded)

Instructions

1 ✓

Peel and wash the potatoes, then pat them completely DRY. Slice into 1/2-inch rounds.

Tip: Wet potatoes create steam, preventing crisping.
2 ✓

In a bowl, toss the potatoes with oil, salt, pepper, and rosemary sprigs.

Tip: Tossing in a bowl ensures even coating.
3 ✓

Spread in a SINGLE layer on a baking sheet. Bake at 400°F (200°C) for 35-40 minutes.

Tip: Do not stack them, or they will steam.
4 ✓

Flip halfway through. Add the minced garlic only for the last 5 minutes.

Tip: If added earlier, garlic will burn and turn bitter.
5 ✓

Garnish with fresh chopped parsley before serving.

Recipe FAQ

Why did they stick?
You tried to flip them too early. Wait until a crust forms; they will release naturally.
