Serve with Bread
Anything that would pair well with Garlic Rosemary Roasted Potatoes, would probably also pair well with French Bread.
There’s nothing like warm, freshly baked French Baguettes to enhance your meal. Serve it slathered with Herbed Butter for extra yummy goodness.
Potatoes
Baby Yukon Gold, or Red potatoes work best for this recipe. Choose a potato size that when cut in half would make a single bite. Parboiling the potatoes before roasting will ensure they are cooked through, and will shorten the roasting time. Adding baking soda to the water. This will result in a crispy, crusty outside but a fluffy and steamy inside when roasting potatoes.
Fresh Rosemary and Garlic
Use finely chopped fresh rosemary and garlic for the best flavor. Dried rosemary or granulated garlic will not release as much flavor, and are much more suitable for soups or stews where they would be reconstituted in the liquid.
Sauces
Garlic Rosemary Roasted Potatoes taste great with steak sauces, such as a Balsamic Red Wine Reduction Sauce, or Diane Sauce. They are delicious with brown Mushroom Gravy, or with a savory onion gravy such as with Smothered Pork Chops. You don’t need to make a sauce specifically for these potatoes – they taste really good on their own. But, rest assured that they will pair nicely with any of the above mentioned sauces or gravies.
