    Crispy roasted baby potato is one of the incredibly easy and versatile dishes that can be made with any seasonings and herbs available in your pantry. It tastes utterly delicious with just salt and pepper as long as it is crispy. This rosemary roasted potato is one such dish where the leftovers can be repurposed into a fabulous dish or use up in a variety of regular meals such as wraps, patties, frittatas, chaats.

    Roasted baby Potato recipe variations 

    You could swap ground garlic (garlic powder) for fresh garlic. Combine it in oil with rest of the seasoning, herbs and coat potato cubes before baking. Skip second coating in the middle of cooking process.  

    Fresh parsley sprinkled on top adds extra flavour to roast potatoes.  

    Tips and Tricks 

    Parboiling is an essential step to achieve maximum crispiness. Even though it is an extra step that takes extra time and effort, the end result makes it all worth it. 

    Soaking cut potatoes in cold water helps to remove excess starch which prevents them from sticking to the tray while baking. The longer you soak them, the more starch will be removed.

    Ensure to parboil potatoes until almost cooked and tender, yet retain its shape.  

    Do not leave cut potatoes outside. Soak them in water to prevent discolouration.  

    Do not add garlic along with other seasonings at the beginning as it burns and masks the real flavours and taste. So, add it halfway through cooking time. 

    Do not overcrowd potatoes on the tray as it results in steaming rather than roasting. If necessary, use two trays, but make sure to spread potatoes in a single layer and give them some room. 

    Get the tray piping hot beforehand to kick start the process and save cooking time. 

    Place potatoes cut side down on the tray before putting the tray in the oven. Flip them halfway through cooking to ensure they brown evenly and come out nice and crispy.

    I have used olive oil as it adds a lovely flavour. As olive oil has a low smoking point, baking at 200 C has worked perfectly well. However, to achieve extra crispiness, consider using an oil that has a high smoking point such as vegetable, canola, or sunflower oil and roast at a slightly higher temperature - 220 C. 

    Choose waxy potatoes as they have enough starch, hold the shape well and get a nice golden colour. I've used new potatoes that are waxy variety and perfect to roast.

    Try to use fresh rosemary as it infuses maximum flavour than the dried ones.  

    How to use up leftover roasted potatoes? 

    Use them in vegetable frittata. 

    Makes a great addition in veggie wraps or patties. 

    You could turn the leftover rosemary roasted potatoes into a delicious evening snack or a light dinner. Chop and use them as filling in curry puffs.  

    Add them to chana chaat, peanut chat or salad.

    Notes

    Adjust seasoning to your taste. 

    Roast time may vary depending on the size of potatoes and oven temperature.  

    Parboil time varies depending on the type and size of potatoes. 

    To get ultra crisp potatoes use an oil that has a high smoking point and bake at a slightly higher temperature. 

    Rosemary leaves have a pronounced flavour, so leaves from just couple of twigs are sufficient to infuse maximum flavour.  

    You could substitute chilli flakes with black pepper if you wish to. 

    Roasted new baby potatoes with skin on tastes great. However, you can peel off the skin if you do not like the texture or taste of it.

      Rosemary and potatoes are a match made in heaven. Whenever I spot fresh rosemary in the supermarket, I either make this or focaccia bread with it. A great side for thanksgiving dinner or weekend treat with pasta and bread.
