Ingredients
To cook the potatoes
- 2 lb red baby potatoes
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon salt
To roast the potatoes
- ½ cup olive oil
- 1 ½ teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 sprig fresh rosemary
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.
- Wash and peel the potatoes, then place them in a saucepan covered with water, salt, and baking soda. Cook until fork-tender, about 20 minutes.
- Once cooked, drain the water from the potatoes and transfer them to a bowl.Shake the bowl to roughly mash the potatoes.
- Season the potatoes with salt, garlic powder, onion powder, Italian seasoning, and black pepper. Set aside.
- Meanwhile, pour the olive oil into a 9x13 baking dish and place it in the oven to preheat.
- Carefully transfer the seasoned potatoes into the hot baking dish with oil. Bake for 45-50 minutes, flipping halfway through. During the last 10 minutes of baking, add a sprig of rosemary and continue roasting until the potatoes turn crispy and golden.
- Once done, remove the potatoes from the oil and serve immediately.
Notes
- Cut Uniformly: Try to cut the baby potatoes into uniform sizes to ensure even cooking.
- Use High Heat: Roast the potatoes at a high temperature (425°F/220°C) to achieve maximum crispiness.
- Don't Overcrowd the Pan: Spread the potatoes out in a single layer on the baking sheet to allow for proper air circulation and crispy edges.
- Preheat the baking dish with olive oil in the oven before adding the potatoes. This helps ensure they get crispy on the outside.
- Flip: To ensure even cooking and crispiness, flip the potatoes halfway through the baking time.
