Ingredients
Just some potatoes and a few simple ingredients to make these delicious roast-in-your-oven potatoes!
I use small potatoes and cut them even smaller so they cook fast and evenly. I bought the 3-pound bag and used half for this recipe.
When cooking at high temperatures, I use regular olive oil, not extra virgin oil. Vegetable oil also works.
Season with minced fresh rosemary or dried if you don't have fresh. I do reserve some to sprinkle on top as a garnish.
Coarse salt, like kosher salt, is perfect for that salty flavor roasted potatoes demand. If using fine salt, always use a little less.
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 400°F. I spray the pan with nonstick spray (to make cleanup easier). Yes, even when using oil for the potatoes.
Step 1
Cut potatoes into small evenly sized pieces. Roughly an inch big.

Step 2
Combine potatoes, oil, minced rosemary, and course salt in a medium bowl.
Step 3
Add potatoes to the baking pan, ensuring not to crowd them. Flip the potatoes halfway through (about 15 minutes) to ensure even roasting. Pierce the potatoes with a fork to see if the center is soft to know they are done. If potatoes are cut into small pieces (1-inch size), they are usually done in about 30 minutes.
Roasted Potato Tips - Having even sized pieces helps them cook uniformly.
Moisture content of potatoes may increase cooking time by a few minutes. Fresh potatoes tend to have more moisture.
Don't crowd the potatoes. You don't want them touching so that they roast better.
Optional
Taste potatoes and then add a light sprinkle of salt and or rosemary to taste.
Storing and Leftovers
Place in a closed container and keep in the fridge for up to 3 days.
I often use any leftover roasted potatoes for breakfast the next day. They are great with scrambled or fried eggs!
