As my rosemary plant continues to flourish, so continues my search for tasty recipes using rosemary. I recently made Herbed Balsamic Grilled Chicken, which required a suitable accompaniment. For some reason it was just screaming potatoes to me.
This recipe for Rosemary Roasted Potatoes has a nice short list of ingredients and could not be any easier. It is very hands off, which worked well with cooking the rest of the meal on the grill (or doing whatever else you need to do).
The only changes I made from the original recipe were adding more garlic and increasing the amount of potatoes to use up my 2 pound bag. Otherwise, this recipe is absolutely THE perfect go-to recipe for roasted potatoes.
Rosemary Roasted Potatoes
Serves 6 to 8
2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
3 cloves garlic, minced
2 tablespoons fresh rosemary, minced
1/2 teaspoon kosher flake salt
Freshly ground pepper, to taste
2 pounds red potatoes, quartered
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees.
- Cut potatoes in quarters and put in bowl with the olive oil, garlic, rosemary, salt and pepper. Toss making sure potatoes are well-coated.
- Dump potatoes on a foil-lined rimmed baking sheet and spread out so they are 1 layer.
- Roast in oven for at least an hour, or until browned and crisp. Flip twice during cooking to ensure evenly browning.

Mmm, I love making homemade potatoes. And it just so happens that my rosemary plant is huge right now! Thanks for the inspiration 😉
I had to laugh because it’s rare that a dish doesn’t scream potatoes as a side for me. I usually have to push myself to think beyond that because I love them so much, in any variety.
These roasted potatoes look wonderful. Since I have both the potatoes and rosemary fresh from the garden, I’ll have to give them a try. Many thanks for the recipe.
I’m Irish so it is practically obligitary to eat potatoes at every meal. Love garlic and rosemary. Yum!
This looks so good. I love potatoes. Could eat them every day.
They are fantastic! I love a lot of potatoes with garlic and rosemary.

I love potatoes and rosemary together. This goes well with about anything! Lovely –
