Recipe FAQ

What type of potatoes works best?

Baby potatoes are ideal because their thin skins crisp up nicely, while the insides remain tender and fluffy.

Can I use dried rosemary instead of fresh?

Yes, dried rosemary works well. Use about one-third the amount of fresh rosemary to avoid overpowering the flavor.

How do I achieve extra crispy potatoes?

Broil the potatoes for the last 2–3 minutes of cooking and ensure they are spread out in a single layer with the cut side down.

What other herbs can complement these potatoes?

Thyme or oregano are great alternatives that pair well with garlic and olive oil for a different herbal note.

Is this dish suitable for gluten-free diets?

Yes, these potatoes contain no gluten and are safe for gluten-free diets unless cross-contaminated by toppings or seasonings.
