I love making these roasted potatoes because they are quick, delicious, and require only a few ingredients you probably have at home. If you’re getting tired of the same old potato recipes, this dish is an excellent way to try something new. It’s perfect as a small snack or a side dish when you want soft, tasty potatoes with a hint of rosemary and garlic.
Description
This recipe uses just six essential ingredients: new potatoes, a small onion, olive oil, dried rosemary, garlic, and garlic salt. The process is simple—wash and quarter the potatoes, cut the onion and garlic, then mix everything together with the olive oil and herbs. After that, roast the mixture in the oven until the potatoes are tender and lightly browned. It’s a delicious recipe that serves four and is a great option for a quick and flavorful snack or side.
Ingredients
• 1 3/4 lbs small red new potatoes – washed and quartered
• 1 small onion – peeled and quartered
• 1/4 cup olive oil
• 1 1/2 tsp dried rosemary (crushed)

• 1/4 tsp garlic salt

Set your oven to 425°F. - Prepare the Ingredients:
o Wash and quarter the new potatoes.
o Peel and quarter the onion.

In a large bowl, combine the potatoes, onion, olive oil, rosemary, garlic, and garlic salt. Toss until every piece is evenly coated. - Arrange:
Line a 15 x 10 x 1-inch baking pan with aluminum foil. Spread the potato mixture in a single layer on the pan. - Bake:
Place the pan in the preheated oven and roast for about 25 minutes, or until the potatoes are soft, tender, and lightly browned. - Serve:
Remove the pan from the oven, let it cool for a couple of minutes, and enjoy!
Process Details
• Cutting Evenly:
I always make sure to cut the potatoes and onion into similar sizes. This ensures they cook evenly.
• Mixing Well:
Tossing all the ingredients thoroughly is key to making sure every piece is well coated with olive oil and herbs.
• Roasting:
Spreading the mixture in a single layer on the pan helps the potatoes roast evenly and develop a perfect, golden-brown color.
Tips for Success
• Uniform Pieces:
Cut the potatoes and onion into similar sizes so they cook at the same rate.
• Mid-Roast Stir:
If you have time, stir the potatoes halfway through roasting for even browning.
• Flavor Boost:
Feel free to adjust the rosemary or garlic amounts to suit your taste.
• Extra Crispiness:
For a crisper texture, spread the potatoes more thinly on the pan.
• Check Early:
Oven temperatures can vary, so check a few minutes before the end of the cooking time to prevent overcooking.
Serving Ideas
• As a Side Dish:
These roasted potatoes make a great side for grilled chicken, fish, or even a hearty salad.
• With a Dip:
Enjoy them with a dollop of sour cream, Greek yogurt, or your favorite dipping sauce.
• For a Snack:
Serve them as a quick, tasty snack during a busy day or at a casual gathering.
