Rosemary roasted potatoes.

Potatoes are king when it comes to quick, delectable dishes! These versatile tubers are practically fuss-free since they don’t require a lot of preparation or attention. Some even prefer their potatoes unpeeled as it reduces the already fast prep times and minimizes waste. Unpeeled potatoes are even said to be more nutritious because the skins contain many vitamins and minerals. Potato skins can also add more earthy undertones to your dish, though you may want to make sure they’re of the thin-skinned variety.

Personally, I like both peeled and unpeeled potatoes. More often than not, the choice boils down to a matter of aesthetics. If I want my dish to have that golden-brown tinge, unpeeled potatoes would work better. But if I want a smoother, bright gold dish, I would definitely go for peeled potatoes.

When making your rosemary roasted potatoes, you can choose to either leave the skins or have them peeled. What’s important for this recipe is that you pick yellow potatoes or other waxy, all-purpose potato types. Moist and velvety, yellow potatoes have a subtle sweetness and a rich buttery taste that perfectly complements rosemary’s woody, evergreen aroma.

Because potatoes are naturally starchy, some oil and salt can blend better with spices like rosemary. Of course, roasting your potatoes gives it that slightly smoky flavor and savory texture.

For a quick and easy side dish, rosemary roasted potatoes can be your go-to recipe. It won’t even take you an hour to complete! Simple but sumptuous, these rosemary roasted potatoes can pair well with steaks or meat dishes. Otherwise, you can have these potatoes as a fancy snack you can enjoy with your very own dip!
