Crispy rosemary-roasted potatoes are the ultimate vegetarian Italian side dish. This fresh mediterranean family staple is healthy, fragrant, and pairs with everything on the table.
Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C) and arrange the rack in the middle position.
Peel and cut the russet potatoes into 1-inch cubes, then rinse under cold water to remove excess starch.
Pat potatoes thoroughly dry with a clean kitchen towel; toss with olive oil, chopped fresh rosemary, salt, and black pepper in a large bowl.
Spread potatoes evenly in a single layer on a large baking sheet, making sure the pieces don’t overlap for even crisping.
Roast for 35 minutes, turning the potatoes once halfway through, until golden brown and crispy on the edges. Serve immediately while hot.
