A quick and easy recipe for perfectly crispy roasted potatoes with a fluffy interior, infused with fresh rosemary and finished with flaky sea salt. Ideal as a flavorful side dish for any occasion.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 pounds Yukon Gold or Russet potatoes, peeled and cut into 1-inch chunks
  • 2 tablespoons finely chopped fresh rosemary leaves (about 2 sprigs)
  • 1½ teaspoons flaky sea salt, plus extra for finishing
  • 3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced (optional)
  • ½ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
  2. Peel and cut 2 pounds of potatoes into roughly 1-inch chunks.
  3. Place potatoes in a large pot, cover with cold water, add a pinch of salt, and bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Boil for 8 minutes until just tender but still firm.
  4. Drain the potatoes in a colander and shake gently to roughen the edges.
  5. Transfer potatoes to a large bowl and drizzle with 3 tablespoons olive oil. Add 2 tablespoons chopped fresh rosemary, 1½ teaspoons flaky sea salt, 2 minced garlic cloves (optional), and ½ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper. Toss gently to coat.
  6. Spread potatoes in a single layer on a rimmed baking sheet, ensuring space between pieces.
  7. Roast in the preheated oven for 25 minutes.
  8. Flip each potato piece using tongs or a spatula to brown evenly.
  9. Roast for an additional 15-20 minutes until golden, crisp on the outside, and tender inside.
  10. Remove from oven and sprinkle extra flaky sea salt over the top while still hot.
  11. Serve immediately for maximum crunch.

Notes

Parboiling the potatoes softens the inside and roughing up the edges helps create extra crispiness. Dry potatoes well after boiling to avoid steaming. Spread potatoes out with space to prevent steaming. Use fresh rosemary for best flavor. For extra crispiness, broil for 2-3 minutes at the end but watch carefully to avoid burning. Can be prepared ahead and roasted from cold with extra cooking time. Reheat in oven or air fryer to restore crispness; avoid microwaving.
