When you make these potatoes you get to enjoy the irresistible perfume of fresh rosemary twice — while they roast in the oven and then again at the table. We've made them here with baby red potatoes, but you can also do a combination of red and white for a festive look. Either way, they'll be creamy on the inside, crispy on the outside, and totally delicious. The recipe is a Yummly original created by David Bonom.

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.

Roast the potatoes on upper-third and lower-third racks of oven for 15 minutes.

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

Check to see that potatoes are done. Remove from oven or add time as needed.

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

Tips & Tricks (5)

Potato Parboiling Perfection 💧
Par-boil the baby red potatoes for 5-7 minutes before roasting to create an ultra-crispy exterior and creamy interior.
Rosemary Infusion Technique 🌿
Crush fresh rosemary leaves between your fingers before adding to release maximum essential oils and intensify the herb's aromatic profile.
Surface Drying Hack 🧻
After parboiling, thoroughly pat potatoes dry with paper towels to ensure maximum crispiness and prevent steaming in the oven.
High-Heat Roasting Secret 🔥
Use a heavy-bottomed baking sheet and preheat it in the oven to create an instant sear when the potatoes hit the surface.
Olive Oil Coating Trick 🫒
Toss potatoes in olive oil in a large bowl, ensuring each piece is evenly and lightly coated for uniform browning and crispness.
