Roasted Rosemary Garlic Potatoes - Fresh rosemary and garlic baked red potatoes with a light golden crisp on the outside and soft on the inside.

These crisp and delicious buttery potatoes are the absolute perfect side dish. I like to serve roasted potatoes with a nice cut of steak, pork chops, grilled chicken and more. They are also great to serve a crowd because they are so easy to make and you can easily make a large batch.
This recipe serves about 4 people, but if you are cooking for a crowd, you can double or even triple this recipe. These potatoes are not only great for summer, but they are perfect for Christmas and Thanksgiving gatherings as well.
I served my potatoes with a juicy oven tri-tip roast, baked beans and a fresh caesar salad. I'll link some more of my favorite main courses and side dishes to serve with this recipe for your below.
You can use any potato you prefer in this recipe but red potatoes really work the best. Russet potatoes tend to be more starchy than red potatoes. Golden potatoes would work great as well.
Fresh rosemary is also highly recommended in this recipe but if you only have dried rosemary that's perfectly fine. The same goes for the garlic, I almost always use fresh garlic in my recipes.
Be sure to set aside about an hour of time to get these potatoes done from start to finish.
Ingredients you need for this recipe:
Red Potatoes - Or you can use golden potatoes or russet potatoes.
Rosemary - Fresh rosemary sprigs are strongly recommended but if you only have dried rosemary that will work too. If you use dried rosemary, you'll need about 1 tsp.
Garlic - Fresh garlic cloves are best in this recipe.
Olive Oil - If you don't have olive oil, canola oil would work.
Butter - I used unsalted butter in this recipe. If you use salted, half the salt in the recipe.
Garlic Salt- If you don't have garlic salt, you can use regular salt, but half it.
Pepper - I used fresh cracked black pepper.
