Ingredients
Method
- Heat the oven to 200 C / 390 F. Place a large rimmed sheet pan inside while it heats.
- Halve or quarter the potatoes so all pieces are roughly the same size. Pat them dry with paper towels.
- In a large mixing bowl, toss the potatoes with olive oil, rosemary, smoked paprika if using, salt, and black pepper until every piece is coated.
- Carefully remove the hot pan from the oven and spread the potatoes in a single layer, cut side down, with space between each piece. Do not overlap.
- Roast for 15 minutes until the undersides start to turn golden. Flip each piece with tongs.
- Scatter the minced garlic over the potatoes and return to the oven for another 10 minutes, until crispy and deep golden at the edges and a fork slides in easily.
- Remove from the oven. Toss with chopped fresh parsley right on the pan and taste for salt. Serve immediately.
Notes
Add the garlic only in the last 10 minutes of roasting. Any earlier and it scorches before the potatoes are done.
