Ingredients for Barbara S Rosemary Red Potatoes

  • 2 pounds red potatoes, cut into 1-inch cubes
  • 4 tablespoons (1/2 stick) butter
  • Vegetable Oil
  • Fresh Rosemary
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper

How to Make Barbara S Rosemary Red Potatoes

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. In a small saucepan or microwave-safe bowl, melt 4 tablespoons (1/2 stick) of butter.
  3. Stir in 2 tablespoons of olive oil. Pour the butter-oil mixture into a glass baking dish (approximately 9x13 inches).
  4. Add 2 pounds of red potatoes, cut into 1-inch cubes, to the baking dish. Toss gently to coat the potatoes evenly with the butter mixture.
  5. Sprinkle generously with 2 tablespoons of fresh rosemary (or 1 teaspoon dried rosemary), 1 teaspoon of salt, and 1/2 teaspoon of black pepper.
  6. Cover the baking dish tightly with aluminum foil.
  7. Bake for 30 minutes. Then, remove the foil, stir the potatoes gently, and bake for an additional 15 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender and slightly golden brown, stirring occasionally to ensure even cooking.
  8. Serve immediately and enjoy!

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Want to unlock deeper, more complex flavors? Try toasting your whole spices before grinding them, or blooming ground spices in a little warm oil to enhance their aroma. Deglazing your pan with a bit of stock, wine, or even water after browning ingredients can capture those tasty caramelized bits, adding richness to your dish.
