Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Herb-Infused Roasted Potatoes.
Step 1
Start by placing your halved potatoes in a large pot, ensuring they’re covered with water by about an inch.
Step 2
To infuse some delightful flavor, gently bruise the rosemary sprigs with the dull side of a knife and toss them into the pot along with a sprinkle of salt, a few cloves of garlic, and a couple of bay leaves.
Step 3
Bring this aromatic mixture to a boil, then lower the heat and let it simmer for about five minutes.
Step 4
Once done, drain the potatoes and let them air dry completely—this step is key for achieving that perfect crispy texture later on.
Step 5
While the potatoes are drying, preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Step 6
Once they’re nice and dry, return the potatoes to the pot.
Step 7
Drizzle them generously with olive oil and season with a dash of cayenne pepper and kosher salt.
Step 8
Give everything a good stir to ensure each potato is beautifully coated in the flavorful mixture.
Step 9
Next, transfer the seasoned potatoes to a rimmed baking sheet, spreading them out in a single layer to allow for even cooking.
Step 10
Pop them into your preheated oven and let them bake for 35 to 45 minutes.
Step 11
Keep an eye on them as they transform into golden brown, crusty delights on the outside while staying creamy and soft on the inside.
Step 12
The aroma wafting through your kitchen will be irresistible, and soon enough, you’ll have a delicious side dish that’s sure to impress! Enjoy your perfectly roasted potatoes!.
