roasted potatoes with garlic & rosemary

These potatoes are my go-to side dish because not only are they easy to prepare but they complement many different types of proteins – chicken, beef and fish.

Many recipes require you to boil the potatoes first and then roast in the oven.  Here, the potatoes are roasted for an hour in a hot oven and the results are perfect with very little fuss.

thoughts&stories

The high cooking temperature ensures potatoes that are perfectly crispy.  And the whole pieces of garlic are delicious to eat with the skins but you can always push them off to the side.
