Instructions

Preheat the oven: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with olive oil.
Prepare the potatoes: Wash and peel the potatoes (or leave the skin on for extra texture). Cut them into even-sized chunks, about 1–2 inches each.
Boil the potatoes: Place the potato chunks in a large pot of salted water. Bring to a boil and cook for about 5-7 minutes, or until the potatoes are just starting to soften but still firm. Drain the potatoes and let them sit for a minute to dry out a bit.
Toss the potatoes: Transfer the drained potatoes to a large mixing bowl. Drizzle with olive oil, then add the minced garlic, chopped rosemary, salt, pepper, and paprika (if using). Toss everything together to coat the potatoes evenly.
Roast the potatoes: Spread the potatoes in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Make sure there’s space between the potatoes so they can get crispy. Roast in the oven for 30–35 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the potatoes are golden brown and crispy on the outside and tender on the inside.

Serve: Once roasted, remove the potatoes from the oven and sprinkle with freshly chopped parsley if desired. Serve hot and enjoy!

Notes

For extra crispiness, you can toss the potatoes with a little bit of flour before roasting.
Feel free to adjust the amount of rosemary and garlic depending on your taste. Add more garlic if you like a stronger flavor.
You can also add other herbs like thyme or oregano for variation.
