Ingredients

• 1 lb Baby potatoes
• 5 Fresh rosemary sprigs
• 3 Garlic cloves
• 3 tbsp Extra virgin olive oil
• 1 tsp Salt
• 1 tsp Black pepper
• 0.5 tsp Paprika (optional for color)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.

Step 2

Wash the baby potatoes thoroughly and pat them dry with a kitchen towel.

Step 3

Slice the potatoes in half lengthwise to reveal a flat surface for 'tattooing.'

Step 4

Strip the leaves from the rosemary sprigs, keeping them whole, and set a small handful of the sprigs aside for garnishing later.

Step 5

Peel 3 garlic cloves and slice them into thin slivers.

Step 6

Rub the flat cut surface of each potato half lightly with olive oil. Then 'tattoo' each one by pressing a rosemary leaf or a garlic slice onto the cut surface. Set aside the prepared potatoes face-up.

Step 7

Place the 'tattooed' potatoes on the parchment-lined baking sheet, cut-side up, ensuring the rosemary and garlic adhere to the surfaces.

Step 8

Drizzle the potatoes evenly with the remaining olive oil, then sprinkle them with salt, black pepper, and paprika (if using).

Step 9

Roast in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until the potatoes are golden brown, crispy on the edges, and fork-tender in the center.

Step 10

Remove the potatoes from the oven and allow them to cool slightly. Garnish with the reserved fresh rosemary sprigs for an aromatic and beautiful presentation.

Step 11

Serve warm as a side dish to complement roasted meats, grilled vegetables, or as part of a festive spread.
