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