Potatoes are great because there are so many different ways you can make them, and if we’re being completely honest, I will eat a potato anyway you give it to me. Mashed Potatoes? ALWAYS. French Fries? Of course! Potato salad? You betcha. And roasted. Oh man, roasted potatoes are so good because they are crispy on the outside and oh so fluffy on the inside. Just like these Rosemary Roasted Potatoes.

Let’s talk about what you’ll need to make it.

Rosemary Roasted Potatoes Ingredients:

• OLIVE OIL: To coat the potatoes and help them crisp up in the oven.
• YUKON GOLD POTATOES: I love using yukon gold potatoes for this recipe because they have a creamy, buttery flavor and tend to hold their shape very well. The skin is also thinner than russets so you don’t need to peel them.
• FRESH ROSEMARY: Fresh rosemary will give you the best flavor and texture.
• SALT/PEPPER
• NON-STICK SPRAY: To spray the baking sheet so the potatoes don’t stick.
