???? Ingredients (Serves 4)

• Yukon Gold or baby potatoes – 800g, cut into chunks
• Olive oil – 45ml (3 tbsp)
• Fresh garlic – 4 cloves, minced
• Salt – 5g (1 tsp)
• Black pepper – ½ tsp
• Dried rosemary – 1 tsp
• Paprika – ½ tsp (optional, for extra color and flavor)
• Fresh parsley – 10g, chopped (for garnish)

????‍???? Instructions

1. Preheat the Oven

Preheat your oven to 220°C (425°F). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it.

2. Prep the Potatoes

Wash and dry the potatoes, then cut them into even, bite-sized chunks. (Leave the skins on for extra texture.)

3. Season the Potatoes

In a large bowl, toss the potato chunks with olive oil, minced garlic, salt, pepper, rosemary, and paprika until evenly coated.

4. Roast the Potatoes

Spread the potatoes in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Roast for 35–40 minutes, flipping them once halfway through, until they’re golden and crispy on the outside and soft inside.

5. Finish and Garnish

Remove the potatoes from the oven and toss them with freshly chopped parsley before serving. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed.

???? Tips for the Best Garlic Roast Potatoes

• Use the right potatoes: Yukon Golds are perfect for that fluffy interior and golden crust. Red potatoes or baby potatoes also work well.
• Dry the potatoes well: After rinsing, pat them dry to ensure maximum crispiness.
• Space them out: Don’t overcrowd the pan—give them space to roast, not steam.
• Add garlic halfway: For stronger garlic flavor and no burning, toss in half the minced garlic after 20 minutes of roasting.
