Rosemary Garlic Crispy Roasted Potatoes
If you've been dreaming of ultra-crispy potatoes, try my rosemary and garlic oven-roasted potatoes. They've got a golden-brown, earth-shattering exterior with a soft, fluffy center. To add a ton of flavor, I toss them with a simple olive oil marinade loaded with garlic and fresh herbs. Pinky promise you'll hear that crunch! Enjoy with practically any main dish!

- 2½ lbs Yukon gold potatoes, peeled and cut into 1½-2-inch pieces
- ½ cup neutral oil, such as grapeseed, avocado, or vegetable oil
- 1 tsp Kosher salt
- ¼ tsp freshly ground black pepper
- 5 cloves of garlic, finely chopped or grated
- 4 Tbsp fresh rosemary, finely chopped
- ¼ cup extra virgin olive oil
- Flaky sea salt
Parboil the potatoes. Preheat an oven to 400°F (205°C). Pour ½ cup of neutral oil in a large baking dish, then place in the oven to preheat. Place 2½ lbs peeled, cubed potatoes in a large pot, then cover with cold water. Add 1 tsp Kosher salt, then bring to a boil. Cook until the potatoes are fork tender, about 5-10 minutes.
Drain the potatoes. Drain the potatoes over a colander, then return to the pot. Allow them to steam for a minute or two (to help remove excess water), then place the lid on top, carefully hold it in place, and shake the pot vigorously.
Roast the potatoes. Remove the baking dish with hot oil from the oven, then carefully pour in the potatoes. Season with 1 tsp Kosher salt and ¼ tsp black pepper, then toss to evenly coat in the hot oil. Ensure that the potatoes are in a single flat layer, then return to the oven. Cook for 1 hour, tossing the potatoes every 20 minutes.
Make the garlic rosemary oil. Place 5 cloves of chopped garlic, 4 Tbsp chopped rosemary, and ¼ cup extra virgin olive oil in a small bowl, then stir to combine. Set aside.
Toss with garlic rosemary oil. Remove the potatoes from the oven, then drizzle the garlic rosemary oil on top. Toss to evenly coat, then return to the oven for about 5 minutes, just long enough to warm through the garlic and rosemary without them burning. Transfer to a serving bowl, then finish with a generous pinch of flaky sea salt. Enjoy hot!
