I really believe that this old Toshiba laptop of ours is bound and determined not to let me post this Roasted Rosemary Potatoes with Garlic recipe that I made for our family get together.
Roasted Rosemary Potatoes with Garlic
The laptop is almost eight years old and it doesn’t like to travel. When we move it from its comfortable spot on the kitchen counter it starts acting up. Like a child who is made to do something he or she doesn’t want to do, it pouts. Sometime it refuses to follow the simplest command, like delete — or it takes forever for it to move from one line to another.
Ingredients for Roasted Rosemary Potatoes with Garlic
Do you remember asking your kids to do a chore they didn’t particularly want to do? Yes, they would eventually do it . . . but they’d drag their feet the entire way?
Well, that’s the way this computer is acting. In the morning I can read the newspaper, front to back plus do the four star Sudoku while I’m trying to cull the email.
Not a very productive way to work.
And to make matters worse I just found out the internal drive is not suited for the program I now need to use for photo editing. 🙁
Roasted Rosemary Potatoes with Garlic on Lined Baking Sheet
There have been times that I’ve almost finished a recipe, got ready to save it and the print somehow, someway disappears. Poof!! Gone into thin air. I have to start writing it all over again.
*sigh*
I think it’s time to put the old Toshiba out to pasture.
Being productive is one of the reasons I really like the Roasted Rosemary Potatoes with Garlic dish. You can make the potatoes for two or twelve in no time at all. I really love dishes that are easy to prepare and use just a few ingredients but end up having lots of flavor. And I not only can get the rosemary roasted potatoes with garlic prepped ahead of time, but while they are roasting I can be doing other things such as visiting with our wonderful family.
Roasted Rosemary Potatoes with Garlic in a Bowl Ready to Serve
To the Italians, there is nothing more important than family. My mamma and papà believed:
La nostra famiglia è un cerco di forza e amore, quando la famigilia cresce, il cerchio si allarga, con ogni crisi affrontata assieme, il cerchio si rafforza. { Our family is a circle of strength and love, when the family grows the circle grows, every crisis faced together makes the circle stonger}.

Roasted Rosemary Potatoes with Garlic
Ingredients
- 4 pounds Yukon gold new potatoes halved.
- 12 cloves garlic minced
- 4 Tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 2 Tablespoons fresh Rosemary chopped
- Coarse sea salt and freshly ground black pepper
Instructions
- In a small saucepan add the oil, garlic and rosemary and heat on medium-low until the oil is infused with the garlic and rosemary flavor, about five minutes. Don't let it cook. Let cool.
- Preheat oven to 400 F.
- Place the potatoes in a shallow baking dish lined with foil and large enough to hold the potatoes in a single layer.
- Drizzle with the infused oil and toss well to evenly coat.
- Sprinkle with the coarse salt and pepper - qb (quanto basta) or to taste.
- Toss again.
- Roast uncovered for 40-50 minutes, depending on size, turning halfway through cooking time, or until the potatoes are nicely browned and tender through the center.
- Serve hot.
Notes
- We prep the potatoes ahead of time by putting the halved potatoes in a bowl, drizzle with the cool olive oil, toss to cover the potatoes then place a lid on them until we are ready to roast in the oven. When we are ready we place the potatoes on the lined baking sheet, spread out the potatoes evenly then salt and pepper. Again we toss, spread out the potatoes then place the baking sheet in the 400 F oven.

Yes, sounds like time for a new computer, but this potato recipe is bound to stick around for years to come. I love the quote too.

Now the dilemma is what to get — Apple users swear by their Macs and purchasing a PC gives me so many choices and I’m kind of disenchanted with Microsoft. 🙁
Simply Suzannes at Home says
Oh, Marisa! I love that you shared your Mamma and Papa’s wise quote . . . It’s so true. LOVE it!
I loved that you roasted your potatoes on a tinfoil sheet. It makes for EASIER clean up! It’s a great tip!
I’ve even roasted potatoes on parchment paper. There’s something about it that makes them crispy. YUM!
Your rosemary potatoes with garlic is truly a delicious dish . . . and a great compliment to just about any meat!
Thanks for sharing with us!
I hope you’re having a great start to your week, sweet gal!
