    Meal type Side Dish
    Rosemary garlic roasted potatoes are super tasty and simple. Thinly slice potatoes and layer in ovenproof dish for a pretty presentation. Top with cheese and chives and serve with side of sour cream, if you like.

    Ingredients

    • 6 Medium baking potatoes, thinly sliced
    • kosher salt to taste
    • ⅓ Cup olive oil
    • 2-3 Cloves garlic, thinly sliced
    • 1 Teaspoon rosemary
    • 1 Teaspoon black pepper

    Optional

    • 1 Cup bacon pieces, cooked

    Note

    This recipe for rosemary garlic roasted potatoes is very versatile.  I opted to thinly slice the potatoes because I like the visual appeal.  If you prefer, the potatoes can be cut into 1-inch cubes.  Note that you may have to adjust cooking time in that case. You can also add cubes of onion and whole garlic cloves.

    Enjoy! - The Recipe Wench

    Directions

    Step 1
    Wash, dry and thinly slice potatoes -- as thin as you can. Try to get them thinner than ¼ inch, if possible. A mandolin is helpful, but I was able to slice these thin by hand with a sharp knife. If I can do it, you can do it!

    Layer slices in a large bowl, seasoning each layer with a little kosher salt as you go along
    Step 2
    In small bowl, add olive oil, thinly-sliced garlic, rosemary and black pepper

    Heat on stovetop or in microwave for 30 seconds or so to help infuse the olive oil with the garlic and rosemary
    Step 3
    Pour olive oil mixture over the sliced potatoes and toss so that all slices are coated with the oil

    Set aside until ready to cook
    Step 4
    Take an oven proof pan (I like to use a cast iron skillet for this) and stack potato slices to fill the pan.

    It's nice not to overcrowd the potatoes as you stack them. Overcrowding will lengthen the cooking time.

    Drizzle any remaining dressing from the bowl over the top of the potatoes. If you feel the potatoes need a little more oil than what's left in the bowl, go ahead and drizzle a bit more olive oil.

    Bake, uncovered, at 350ºF for approximately 90 minutes

    During the last 20 minutes, you can sprinkle with ½ cup of parmesan cheese, if desired

    Serve with sour cream and chives or scallions for topping. Crumbled bacon would also be a tasty topper.

    Be sure to share!
