Ingredients
Scale
Potatoes
- 1 lb red potatoes (small to medium-sized)
Seasoning & Oil
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- ½ tsp salt
- ½ tsp black pepper
- 2 tbsp fresh rosemary, finely chopped
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) to ensure it reaches the perfect temperature for roasting the potatoes evenly and achieving a crispy texture.
- Prepare Potatoes: Wash and dry the red potatoes thoroughly. Using a heart-shaped cookie cutter or a sharp knife, cut each potato into heart shapes, making sure the slices are evenly sized for consistent cooking.
- Season Potatoes: In a large mixing bowl, toss the heart-shaped potato slices with olive oil, garlic powder, salt, black pepper, and freshly chopped rosemary until each piece is evenly coated with the seasoning mixture.
- Arrange on Baking Sheet: Spread the seasoned potato hearts out in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper to prevent sticking and promote even roasting.
- Roast: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and roast for 25 to 30 minutes, flipping the potato hearts halfway through the cooking time to ensure both sides become golden brown and crispy.
- Serve: Remove from the oven and serve immediately. For extra flavor, drizzle with additional olive oil or sprinkle more fresh rosemary on top if desired.
Notes
- To make cutting easier, parboil potatoes for 5 minutes and let them cool slightly before shaping.
- Use a parchment-lined baking sheet to prevent sticking and make cleanup easier.
- Flip potatoes halfway through roasting to ensure even crispiness.
- These potato hearts pair well with a fresh green salad or as a side to roasted meats.
- For a spicy twist, add a pinch of smoked paprika or chili flakes to the seasoning mix.
