Ingredients
  

  • 2 pounds Yukon Gold potatoes cut into 1-inch chunks
  • 4 cloves garlic minced
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
  • 2 tablespoons fresh rosemary chopped

Equipment

  • Baking sheet
  • Large mixing bowl
  • Oven

Method
 

  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). This high heat will ensure your potatoes get that perfect crispy exterior while staying tender inside.
  2. In a large bowl, toss the Yukon Gold potatoes with olive oil, minced garlic, salt, black pepper, and fresh rosemary. Make sure each piece is well coated for even flavor distribution.
  3. Spread the potatoes in a single layer on a baking sheet. Trust me, giving them space is key to achieving that golden brown crispiness.
  4. Roast in the preheated oven for 45 minutes, turning them halfway through cooking. You'll know they're done when they're golden and crispy on the outside and tender on the inside.
  5. Remove from the oven, let them cool for a few minutes, and serve alongside your prime rib. Step back and admire the perfect complement to your holiday meal.

Notes

Chef's Tips:
• For extra flavor, add a sprinkle of Parmesan cheese before roasting.
• Avoid overcrowding the baking sheet to prevent steaming instead of roasting.
• Serve these potatoes warm for the best texture and flavor.
Food Safety:
• Ensure potatoes are cooked to an internal temperature of at least 210°F (99°C) for safe consumption.
• Store leftovers in the refrigerator within two hours of cooking.
