Herb Roasted Potatoes
Description
These herb-roasted potatoes are a quintessential side dish that elevates any meal with minimal effort. Small red potatoes are tossed with olive oil, fresh rosemary, and garlic, then roasted until the outsides are delightfully crisp and the insides remain fluffy and tender. The high heat caramelizes the natural sugars in the potatoes, creating a rich, savory flavor profile that pairs perfectly with roasted meats or grilled vegetables. This dish is perfect for Sunday dinners, holiday gatherings, or a comforting weeknight meal. The aromatic herbs infuse every bite with a Mediterranean flair, making it a reliable favorite that tastes far more complex than it actually is to prepare.Ingredients
