Ingredients
- 2 pounds fingerling potatoes
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 4 pieces garlic cloves
- 2 sprigs fresh rosemary
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- 0.5 teaspoons black pepper
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
Step 2
Wash and scrub the fingerling potatoes thoroughly under running water; pat them dry with a clean kitchen towel.
Step 3
Slice the potatoes in half lengthwise to ensure even cooking and crisp edges.
Step 4
Peel and smash the garlic cloves with the flat side of a knife, keeping them whole to infuse the oil with flavor during roasting.
Step 5
In a large mixing bowl, combine the halved potatoes, olive oil, smashed garlic cloves, leaves from the rosemary sprigs, kosher salt, and black pepper. Toss well to coat the potatoes evenly.
Step 6
Spread the seasoned potatoes out in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, cut side down for maximum crispness.
Step 7
Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and roast for 30-35 minutes, tossing halfway through to ensure even browning.
Step 8
Check for doneness by piercing the potatoes with a fork; they should be golden brown and tender on the inside.
Step 9
Remove the potatoes from the oven and transfer to a serving platter. Optionally, garnish with additional fresh rosemary for added aroma and presentation.
Step 10
Serve hot as a side dish to complement your favorite protein or enjoy as a standalone snack.
