Rosemary Roasted Potatoes are a classic recipe that every person should know how to make. These potatoes are so simple that you will likely remember the entire process in no time. They can also be used with almost any type of meal. Although they take some time to cook properly, the result is well worthwhile.
What Potatoes are Best for Roasting?
Today I went a bit fancy and purchased these tri-coloured baby potatoes from Aldi. They are more expensive than your standard russet but make such pretty presentations, and I love the delicate texture. This recipe can be made with any potato. Do you see what I mean when I say flexible?
You can use russet, red, or Yukon gold potatoes to cut down on the cost of this recipe. Make sure to cut the potatoes into 3/4 inch pieces, regardless of what variety. How long it takes to roast potatoes depends on their size.
HOW TO SEASON ROAST POTATOES
Absolutely! You can substitute rosemary for your favourite herb if you don’t like it or don’t possess any. This recipe is very flexible. You can use fresh or dried herbs and any combination you prefer.
