Ingredients

2 pounds russet potatoes
2 tablespoon all-purpose flour or cornstarch for gluten-free
3-4 tablespoons olive oil
1 rosemary sprig diced or minced
4 garlic cloves chopped or minced
½ teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon pepper

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 400° F
Wash and cut the potatoes in long wedges. (see below for how to)
2 pounds russet potatoes
Pat the wedges dry with a paper towel and place them in a large tray or bowl.
Sprinkle with the flour and toss to coat. (I just use my hands). Tossing in flour creates a wonderful crispy outer layer during roasting.
2 tbsp all-purpose flour
Arrange potatoes in a single layer on a baking sheet.
Drizzle the olive oil over top and add the rosemary leaves, chopped garlic, salt and pepper. If you are worried about the garlic burning, you can add it when you flip the potatoes after 20 minutes.
3-4 tablespoons olive oil, 1 rosemary sprig, 4 garlic cloves, ½ teaspoon salt, ¼ teaspoon pepper
Place in the oven and bake for 40-45 minutes, flipping the potatoes over at halfway through.
Remove them from the oven and sprinkle with additional fresh rosemary before serving.

Notes

Use cornstarch instead of flour for a gluten-free option.

Cut the potatoes in cubes if you’d like.

Add a little fresh thyme.

Use dry rosemary if that’s all you have but I would add it when you flip them so it doesn’t burn.

Make them spicy but adding crushed red pepper flakes or a ⅛ teaspoon+ of cayenne pepper.

Toss them in garlic powder and onion powder for extra flavor.

Toss in a tablespoon of butter if you’d like extra flavor.

Add a sliced red onion or shallots or even diced tomatoes.

Add chopped raw bacon before cooking.
