Crispy Roasted Potatoes with Garlic & Rosemary

Crispy, golden, and absolutely delicious, these roasted potatoes are packed with the amazing flavors of garlic, rosemary, and extra virgin olive oil. They’re the perfect side dish to serve alongside roasted meat or chicken, and a wonderful addition to a family lunch, Sunday table, or gathering with friends.

Peel the potatoes and cut them into small, evenly sized cubes. Place them in a large pot and cover with cold, well-salted water. Bring to a boil and cook for about 8–10 minutes, until softened.

Drain the potatoes very well and leave them in the colander for about 5 minutes, allowing the steam and excess moisture to escape. Preheat the oven to 430°F (220°C), fan-forced.

Transfer the potatoes to a large baking tray lined with parchment paper. Drizzle generously with extra virgin olive oil and season with salt and freshly ground black pepper. Toss gently until well coated, then arrange the potatoes in a single layer, leaving a little space between each piece. Roast for about 40 minutes without turning them, allowing a beautiful golden crust to develop underneath.

Meanwhile, prepare the garlic and rosemary dressing. In a small bowl, combine the extra virgin olive oil, finely chopped garlic, rosemary, and dried oregano.

Remove the golden potatoes from the oven, pour the garlic and rosemary dressing over them, and toss gently until every piece is beautifully coated. Return to the oven and roast for another 15 - 20 minutes, turning once if needed, until deeply golden and wonderfully crispy on all sides.
Remove from the oven and immediately sprinkle generously with fresh parsley.

Serve them hot and crispy alongside your favorite main dish and, for an extra-special meal, enjoy them with a chilled glass of Gratsi White Wine. The perfect combination for a relaxed lunch or a beautiful table shared with family and friends.
