nonstick cooking spray (or olive oil)

3 pounds baby red potatoes

3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil

1 tbsp rosemary leaves(fresh, chopped, for potatoes)

1 tsp salt

½ tsp black pepper

sprig rosemary sprigs(fresh, optional, for serving)

Instructions

Arrange oven racks in lower third and upper third of oven.

Preheat the oven to 425°F.

Coat two large baking sheets with nonstick cooking spray or olive oil.

Cut the potatoes in half. Transfer to a large mixing bowl and add the olive oil, rosemary, salt, and pepper. Toss well. Arrange the potatoes cut side down in a single layer on the prepared baking sheets.

Swap the positions of the baking sheets and continue roasting until potatoes are tender and well browned on cut sides, about 15 minutes.

Transfer the potatoes to a serving bowl. Serve with fresh rosemary sprigs for garnish if desired.

Tasted great! My kids like the potatoes a little crispier, so I cooked them closer to an hour. Seasoning on them tasted great!

Tips & Tricks (5)

Cut Potatoes Uniformly for Even Cooking 🔪
Halve or quarter potatoes to similar sizes so they roast at the same rate, ensuring creamy interiors and crispy exteriors simultaneously. Aim for 1.5-2 inch pieces for optimal results.
Pat Potatoes Completely Dry Before Roasting 💧
Moisture is the enemy of crispiness—use paper towels to thoroughly dry potatoes after washing, allowing the oil to create a golden, crunchy crust rather than steam.
Preheat Your Pan with Oil for Maximum Crispiness 🔥
Heat your roasting pan with oil in the oven for 5 minutes before adding potatoes; this jump-starts the crisping process and creates an immediate golden crust on contact.
Reserve Fresh Rosemary Sprigs for Final Garnish 🌿
Keep some fresh rosemary sprigs unwilted for plating at the end to capture that irresistible perfume at the table; add roasted sprigs halfway through cooking for layered herbal depth.
Don't Crowd the Pan and Shake Mid-Roast 🥔
Arrange potatoes in a single layer and shake the pan halfway through cooking to ensure even browning on all sides and prevent steaming from overcrowding.
