    Mashed potato lovers, hear me out for a second.

    I know mashed potatoes get all the glory at Thanksgiving, and I get it, they totally should. However, they can be hard to keep warm and fluffy by the time the last person goes through the food line.

    You also might have a few stray baby potatoes laying around after making all those mashers, and I’m all about eliminating food waste!

    The solution to these very privileged problems is oven roasted rosemary potatoes. Crispy roasted baby potatoes are seasoned simply with fresh rosemary, salt, and pepper for a super easy side dish that could easily be scaled up for a holiday and will still be tasty at room temperature if need be.

    How do you make the best rosemary potatoes?

    The best rosemary potatoes are made simply, with good olive oil, salt, pepper, and rosemary. To achieve maximum crispiness, soak your quartered potatoes in cold water for one hour before drying completely and moving on with the recipe.

    Does rosemary go with potatoes?

    Rosemary and potatoes go together beautifully. The woodsy nature of rosemary is a perfect match for the earthy flavor of potatoes.

    How do you use fresh rosemary on potatoes?

    Pull the rosemary leaves off the stem. Finely chop the rosemary, then sprinkle on the potatoes before cooking.

    What temperature do you cook rosemary potatoes at?

    For this recipe we’re cooking at 400ºF. That will allow the potatoes to get soft inside while the outside becomes crisp.

    How long does it take to roast potatoes at 400 degrees?

    It takes one hour for the potatoes to become perfectly crisp. Stir once halfway through to ensure the brown evenly.

    Should you cover oven roasted potatoes?

    Do not cover your potatoes if you want them to be crisp. Covering them will trap in steam and soften them without letting them crisp fully.

    These oven roasted rosemary potatoes can be customized! Here are a few ideas to get you started:

    • Serve as breakfast potatoes alongside baked eggs and veggie sausage
    • If you’re short on time you can skip the soaking, although the end result will be less crispy
    • Swap the rosemary for other chopped herbs such as parsley or thyme
    • Serve finished potatoes with homemade ketchup, your favorite hot sauce (<– affiliate link to mine!), or spicy bbq sauce
