Notes
Adjust seasoning to your taste.
Bake time may vary depending on the size of potatoes and oven temperature.
Boil time varies depending on the type and size of potatoes.
To get extra crisp potatoes, use an oil that has a high smoking point and bake slightly at a higher temperature.
Rosemary leaves have a pronounced flavour, so just a little is sufficient to infuse maximum flavour.
You could substitute chilli flakes with black pepper if you wish to.
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.
