Roasted Garlic Rosemary Potatoes Recipe
While staying at the Diplomat Beach Resort in Florida earlier this year, my daughter became hooked on their Crispy Garlic Parmesan Potatoes – she requested them at every meal during our week-long stay!
Previous to this, she had been on a bit of a potato strike. I think having an Irish-Italian grandpa who thinks potatoes belong at every meal was a bit much for her… but we’ve brought her back to the potato-loving side of the aisle, with these crispy, flavorful mini potaotes.
These roasted potatoes are so delicious, I could polish off a tray of them by myself. I don’t think we’ve had leftovers of them yet!
Now, I roasted our mini potatoes for over 30 minutes because I wanted them to be good and crispy, but you can easily pan fry them or roast them for less time if you don’t want them to be super crispy on the outside. (Personally, I think everything potato should always be super crispy.)
The combination of the butter, olive oil and garlic forms a delicious trifecta that is sweet and satisfying. I took my daughter’s portion up a notch with a generous sprinkle of Parmesan cheese, and these crispy golden potatoes would also be amazing with some shaved prosciutto or freshly chopped bacon sprinkled overtop.
You can also use this method and base recipe to prepare just about any vegetable. The slow roasting and the combination of the other ingredients called for help bring out the natural sugars for a sweetness that perfectly combines with the fat (oil + butter) to delicious effect. Try this method with carrots, turnips, broccoli, cauliflower, etc. (You may just need to adjust the cooking time for other veggies.)
This potato recipe is great for Thanksgiving or for serving alongside steak or BBQ. Enjoy them hot for the best flavor and to enjoy the contrast of the soft, fluffy insides to the crispy, crunchy outside. Perfection.
