Wonderfully flavorful, crispy on the outside, and tender on the inside…
What’s not to love about these potatoes?
These potatoes are awesomely delicious! Oven roasting them produces fat little savory bites of crispy, pillowy potato flavor. Crisp and golden on the outside, filled with luscious creamy, soft potato fluffiness on the inside. You will love this roasted potato recipe.
The dish is a family favorite because the crispy wedges taste almost like French fries or oven fries but with much more flavor.
I like them because they’re an easy-to-make side dish that complements everything from baked chicken to grilled steak, ribs, and more. They’re always the perfect accompaniment and healthy, especially for your heart, because the recipe uses olive oil instead of butter. They also provide a healthy dose of nutrients. Potatoes are an excellent source of vitamin C, potassium, and dietary fiber, making them a nourishing choice.
With lots of "good stuff" to promote a healthy gut and more!
Furthermore, garlic is praised for its potential health benefits, including boosting the immune system, combating inflammation, and protecting the good bacteria in the gut. At the same time, rosemary has antioxidant properties and is believed to improve digestion and enhance memory and concentration.
So, with all the “good stuff” that olive oil, aromatic garlic, and fragrant rosemary bring to the table, we’re using all three in this recipe that dresses up plain ‘ole potato fries in a recipe that avoids the three potential downsides to parboiling.
Continue scrolling to the recipe, where everything comes together in a combination of classic tastes that takes simple roasted potatoes to a whole new level, elevating the flavor and making them even more irresistible.

How to Make the Most Perfectly Roasted Potatoes
Did you know that deciding whether to parboil potatoes before roasting is supposedly a common debate among many cooks and chefs regarding achieving perfectly roasted potatoes?
Who knew? But according to my searches across www. (world-wide-web), most cook-bloggers (like me) and chefs, too, are all over the place with their opinions on whether to parboil or just straight-up roast potatoes.
So, what exactly is parboiling anyway?
If you’re unfamiliar with parboiling, it’s a method that partially boils the potatoes before placing them in the oven. This step can significantly influence the outcome of your roasted potatoes.
But the question remains: is parboiling potatoes necessary for the best results before roasting?
I invite you to read more in the sister post about this recipe to discover my answer to the question and all the benefits (and drawbacks) of parboiling.

STORAGE
Store leftover roasted potatoes in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to four days.The best way to reheat leftover roasted potatoes:
-
My First Pick is the Regular Oven or Toaster Oven –
While it might be tempting to reheat roasted potatoes in the microwave, taking the time to reheat them in the toaster oven will ensure you don’t eat cold, chewy, dry, mealy, or soggy in-the-middle potatoes. Heat the oven to 400°F, spread the potatoes onto a parchment-lined baking sheet (for easy cleanup), and cover with aluminum foil. Reheat in the oven until warmed, about 10-15 minutes, then remove the foil and roast for another five minutes to re-crisp. -
#2 Air Fryer –
You can also reheat roasted potatoes in the air fryer, spreading them out in the basket or tray (depending on your type of fryer) in a single layer. Set the fryer to anywhere between 325° to 375°F for 3 to 5 minutes. Open and shake or toss the potatoes, then return them to fry for 2 to 3 minutes or until they are crispy and warmed. -
Last but certainly not least is the stovetop –
The stovetop is an excellent method, especially if you only have a few leftovers or want to incorporate them with other ingredients (like using them in scrambled eggs or an omelet) to make a whole new meal. Start by heating a small amount of olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add the potatoes and toss with a spatula, then reduce the heat to medium-low before covering the pan. Let them cook for 2 to 3 minutes until they are warmed. Remove the lid, increase the heat to medium, and cook until they become crispy again.
