Ingredients

• 1.5 lbs Baby potatoes
• 3 tbsp Extra virgin olive oil
• 3 pcs Garlic cloves
• 2 sprigs Fresh rosemary
• 1 tsp Salt
• 0.5 tsp Black pepper
• 2 tbsp Parsley (chopped, optional for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

1. Rinse the baby potatoes under cold water to remove any dirt, and pat them dry with a clean kitchen towel. If the potatoes are larger, cut them in half for even cooking.

Step 2

2. In a large pot, add the baby potatoes and enough water to cover them completely. Add a pinch of salt to the water and bring to a boil. Let the potatoes simmer for 8-10 minutes, or until they are fork-tender but not mushy. Drain and let them cool slightly.

Step 3

3. While the potatoes are cooling, finely mince the garlic and set it aside. Remove the leaves from the rosemary sprigs and chop them roughly.

Step 4

4. In a large skillet or frying pan, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Once the oil is shimmering, add the minced garlic and chopped rosemary. Sauté for 1 minute, stirring constantly, until fragrant but not browned.

Step 5

5. Add the cooked potatoes to the skillet. Use a spatula to press down gently on each potato, slightly smashing them to create more surface area for crisping. Spread them out evenly in the pan.

Step 6

6. Sprinkle the potatoes with salt and black pepper, and allow them to cook undisturbed for 4-5 minutes, or until the bottoms develop a golden, crispy crust.

Step 7

7. Flip the potatoes carefully and cook for another 4-5 minutes on the other side until golden and crispy all over. Adjust seasoning with additional salt and pepper if needed.

Step 8

8. Once the potatoes are beautifully browned, remove them from the skillet and transfer to a serving dish. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley, if desired.

Step 9

9. Serve warm as a side dish with your favorite protein or as part of a vegetarian spread.
