Place the potatoes in an airtight container or a sealed freezer bag to avoid freezer burn. When ready to eat them, warm them up in the oven to regain their crispiness.

For perfectly roasted rosemary potatoes, set your oven to 200 °C and cook them for about 30 minutes.

Tips: Get the best rosemary roasted potatoes

Let us guide you through how to make the best rosemary roasted potatoes with these tips.

Selecting the right potatoes

It is best to use waxy potatoes, which are known for keeping their shape when roasted. They are also great for absorbing the rich flavours of rosemary and garlic. Varieties like Yukon Gold or Red Bliss are great options. They hold up well to roasting and have a flavour that complements the herbs. Size and shape matter, too. Choose potatoes of similar size for even cooking and avoid any that are soft or have green spots.

Infused with garlic

With each bite you get to experience the boldness of the garlic, the creamy richness of the butter, and the crisp freshness of rosemary.

Tender and soft with crispy skin

The secret to perfect rosemary potatoes is getting the texture just right. They need to be pillow-like, tender, and fluffy inside, while their crust is golden and crisp. That way, they can complement any main dish you want. As a bonus, they are easily reheated and reused as delicious leftovers.

What to serve with rosemary roasted potatoes?

Our rosemary roasted potatoes are perfect with a grilled rib-eye steak, adding a robust flavour that matches the beef’s richness. They also go well with other meats like roast chicken, where the crispy chicken skin complements the potatoes’ slight crunch. For seafood enthusiasts, these herby potatoes blend seamlessly with the subtle taste of baked fish like cod or salmon. Or pair them with grilled portobello mushrooms for a satisfying, earthy flavour.

Experiment with the ingredients

While our rosemary roasted potatoes are delicious, feel free to get creative and experiment with the ingredients. Substitute rosemary with other herbs like thyme or oregano. Oregano brings a bold, slightly peppery flavour with hints of citrus and earthiness, while thyme has a more delicate note with hints of lemon and mint. Try sweet or smoked paprika for warmth and complexity. For a touch of freshness, try tossing the potatoes with lemon zest or a splash of balsamic vinegar before roasting.
