Categories     side-dish

Time 40m

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 5

2 pounds small red and white potato, quartered
1 to 2 tablespoons olive oil
2 tablespoons chopped rosemary leaves
2 cloves garlic, minced
Salt and freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.
  • Place potatoes in a plastic bag with the oil, rosemary, and garlic. Shake until well coated. Pour onto a cookie sheet, season with salt and pepper. Cook, turning once, until golden and crispy, about 30 minutes.

Tips:

  • Choose the right potatoes: Russet potatoes are the best choice for baking, as they have a fluffy interior and crispy skin. Yukon Gold and red potatoes can also be used, but they may not be as fluffy.
  • Scrub the potatoes well before baking: This will remove any dirt or debris from the skin.
  • Prick the potatoes with a fork: This will help the potatoes cook evenly and prevent them from bursting.
  • Rub the potatoes with oil: This will help the skin crisp up and brown.
  • Season the potatoes generously: Salt and pepper are essential, but you can also add other herbs and spices, such as garlic powder, onion powder, or paprika.
  • Bake the potatoes at a high temperature: This will help them cook quickly and evenly.
  • Flip the potatoes halfway through baking: This will ensure that they brown evenly on all sides.
  • Serve the potatoes immediately: Baked potatoes are best enjoyed hot out of the oven.

Conclusion:

Oven-baked potatoes are a classic side dish that can be enjoyed with a variety of meals. They are easy to make and can be customized to your liking. With a few simple tips, you can make perfect oven-baked potatoes every time.
