Ingredients
Scale
Potatoes
- 3 pounds small Yukon gold potatoes
Butter and Seasoning
- 6 tablespoons salted butter, melted
- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh rosemary
- 3 rosemary sprigs
- 4–6 cloves garlic, smashed
- Kosher salt, to taste
- Black pepper, to taste
- Flaky sea salt, for serving
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) to ensure it is hot enough for roasting the potatoes to a crispy finish.
- Prepare Potatoes: Wash the Yukon gold potatoes thoroughly and pat dry. If the potatoes are larger, cut them in halves or quarters so they are roughly equal in size to ensure even cooking.
- Toss Potatoes with Butter and Rosemary: In a large bowl, combine the melted salted butter with chopped fresh rosemary, kosher salt, and black pepper. Add the potatoes and toss them well until they are evenly coated with the butter mixture.
- Arrange for Roasting: Spread the potatoes out in a single layer on a large baking sheet. Scatter the smashed garlic cloves and rosemary sprigs among the potatoes for additional flavor infusion during roasting.
- Roast Potatoes: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and roast for approximately 40-50 minutes, turning the potatoes every 15 minutes to ensure even browning and crispiness on all sides. The potatoes should be golden brown and crispy on the outside, tender when pierced with a fork.
- Season and Serve: Once roasted, transfer the potatoes to a serving dish. Sprinkle flaky sea salt over the top while they are still hot for a delightful texture contrast and enhanced flavor. Serve immediately for best taste and crispiness.
Notes
- Using small Yukon gold potatoes ensures even roasting and a creamy interior.
- Adjust garlic cloves to your taste preference; roasting softens their intensity.
- Turning the potatoes during roasting is crucial for uniform crispiness.
- Flaky sea salt adds a pleasant crunch and bursts of saltiness at the finish.
- To keep potatoes warm and crispy before serving, place them in a warm oven (200°F) for up to 15 minutes.
