Instructions

  • Step 1: Preheat the Oven. Start by preheating your oven to 425°F (220°C). A hot oven is key to achieving that perfect golden-brown crust on your Delicious Roasted Red Potatoes.
  • Step 2: Prepare the Potatoes. Wash the red-skinned potatoes thoroughly under running water. Once clean, cut them into quarters or bite-sized pieces. You can leave the skins on for added texture and flavor.
  • Step 3: Mix the Seasonings. In a large mixing bowl, combine the olive oil, minced garlic, lemon zest, sea salt, and freshly ground black pepper. Whisk the ingredients together until well combined.
  • Step 4: Toss the Potatoes. Add the cut potatoes to the bowl with the seasoning mixture. Toss everything together until the potatoes are evenly coated. You want each piece to soak up that delicious flavor!
  • Step 5: Arrange for Roasting. Spread the seasoned potatoes evenly on a large baking sheet. Make sure they’re in a single layer to allow for even roasting. Tuck in the fresh rosemary sprigs among the potatoes for an aromatic boost.
  • Step 6: Roast in the Oven. Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and roast for about 30-35 minutes. Halfway through, give the potatoes a stir to ensure they brown evenly. You’re looking for a crispy exterior and tender interior.
  • Step 7: Garnish and Serve. Once the potatoes are golden and crispy, remove them from the oven. Allow them to cool for a couple of minutes before garnishing with freshly grated Parmesan cheese. This adds a savory finish that perfectly complements the flavors of the dish.

Notes

  • Soak the potatoes in water for 30 minutes before roasting for extra crispiness.
  • For a spicy kick, add a pinch of red pepper flakes to the seasoning mix.
  • Experiment with different cheeses like feta or goat cheese for a tangy twist.
