  • They turn out crispy on the outside and fluffy inside without any fuss or fancy technique.
  • The rosemary fills the kitchen with a smell that makes everyone ask whats for dinner.
  • You can prep them in minutes and let the oven do all the work while you focus on everything else.
02 -
  • Dont skip the step of arranging them cut side down, thats where the crispiness happens.
  • If your potatoes are different sizes, cut the bigger ones smaller so everything cooks evenly.
  • Turning them halfway through makes a huge difference, even if youre tempted to skip it.
03 -
  • Toss the potatoes with the oil and seasonings while theyre still dry, moisture on the surface prevents crisping.
  • If you want garlic flavor without burnt bits, add the minced garlic halfway through roasting instead of at the start.
  • Use a metal spatula to flip them, it helps release the crispy bottoms without tearing them apart.
