Garlic Roasted Potatoes Recipe
With their perfectly crisp edges and creamy, tender centers, everyone loves these easy Garlic Roasted Potatoes. A versatile and delicious side dish that pairs perfectly with just about any meal.
Servings: 8 people (as a side)
Ingredients
- 2 pounds baby potatoes halved
- 2 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
- 8 cloves garlic minced (see notes)
- 1 teaspoon fresh rosemary finely minced
- 1.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon freshly grated black pepper
- Fresh lemon juice (approx. 2 tbsp) optional
- Fresh chopped parsley to garnish
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper. Set aside.
- Add the potatoes to a medium-sized mixing bowl and drizzle with 2 tablespoons of good-quality olive oil. Add the minced garlic, rosemary, salt, and pepper. Mix well to combine.
- Transfer the potatoes to the prepared baking sheet and bake for approximately 45 minutes to one hour, stirring occasionally, or until golden and crispy.
- Remove from the oven, sprinkle with fresh chopped parsley, and drizzle with fresh lemon juice, if desired. Enjoy!
Notes
- Any kind of potato will work. However, I find that the best potatoes for this recipe are baby potatoes or small Yukon gold potatoes.
- I love using fresh minced garlic. Yes, some of this garlic will get a little burnt, but that adds to the appeal for me. If you prefer not to use minced garlic, swap it for garlic powder (or a mix of garlic powder and onion powder). Use approximately 1/8 teaspoon of garlic powder in place of each clove of garlic.
- I added fresh minced parsley, but feel free to add minced rosemary, oregano, or thyme.
- A little squeeze of fresh lemon juice just before serving adds a nice, fresh balance of flavor.
- Sprinkle with freshly shredded parmesan cheese in the last 5 minutes of cooking for a yummy garlic parmesan version of these crispy potatoes.
- Refrigerate leftover roasted potatoes in a sealed container for up to 4 days.
