Ingredients

• 1 pound Baby potatoes (or small Yukon Gold potatoes)
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 3 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
• 1 tablespoon Fresh rosemary, chopped (or 1 teaspoon dried rosemary)
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 0.5 teaspoon Paprika (optional, for added flavor)

Directions

Step 1

Wash and dry the potatoes thoroughly. If using baby potatoes, leave them whole or slice any larger ones in half so they are evenly sized.

Step 2

Heat a large skillet or frying pan over medium heat and add the olive oil.

Step 3

Once the oil is hot, add the potatoes to the pan in a single layer. Let them cook undisturbed for 4-5 minutes to develop a golden crust on one side.

Step 4

Flip the potatoes using tongs or a spatula to brown the other sides. Cook for an additional 4-5 minutes, stirring occasionally to ensure even browning.

Step 5

Reduce the heat to low and add the minced garlic, chopped rosemary, salt, black pepper, and paprika (if using). Stir everything together to coat the potatoes in the seasoning.

Step 6

Cover the pan with a lid and let the potatoes cook for another 7-8 minutes or until they are tender when pierced with a fork.

Step 7

Remove the lid and give the potatoes a final stir. Adjust seasoning with more salt or pepper if needed.

Step 8

Serve the pan-roasted potatoes hot as a side dish or enjoy them on their own!
