Recipe: Oven-Roasted Rosemary Potatoes
Summary: This simple roasting approach doesn’t require stirring or flipping, just put the tray in the oven and cook until fork-tender.
Ingredients
Save yourselves the trouble of flipping. Place cut-side down, set, and forget. OK, don’t completely forget.
- 2 pounds Yukon Gold potatoes
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh or dried rosemary
- 1 teaspoon salt
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 425 F.

This is our favorite way of cooking “fries” as well. Fun to experiment with the seasonings. Love how the baking method, while so much healthier, combined with the starch of freshly cut potatoes creates a crisp “shell” that is delightful to munch, as if it had been deep fried.
I absolutely agree Bill. And you’ve given me an idea. I think it would be fun to try letting my kids spice the potatoes in their own way, for a little trial-and-error experience, and creative control.
