Ingredients
  • 2 pounds potatoes
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon rosemary, crumbled in your hand (optional)
Instructions
  1. Preheat oven to 425°F.
  2. Scrub potatoes and leave unpeeled, or peel as necessary. Cut potatoes into 1/2-inch cubes. Place cubes in a bowl and add oil, salt, and optional rosemary. Toss to coat. Spread potato cubes in a single layer on a rimmed baking sheet. Use two baking sheets if necessary.
  3. Bake 25 to 35 minutes or until edges of potatoes are golden brown. Midway and then toward the end of the baking time, spot-check the bottoms of the potatoes to make sure they’re not getting too brown.
  4. When the bottoms are browning and becoming crispy, place the pan under your broiler 2 to 4 minutes, or until tops are browned.
  5. Store any leftovers in the refrigerator to eat reheated or cold.
