Rosemary Potatoes


These potatoes are a perfect side to just about any dish and look fantastic. Okay, they taste great as well. My favorite thing about these potatoes though, is that they are sooooo easy and yet everyone thinks you were cooking all day! I decided to cook these with 20 minutes until dinner was served and had plenty of time! I love the microwave method and have switched up the spices many times...so good and so easy it is a new favorite. Hope you cook it up and fool your hubbies soon :)
Rosemary Potatoes

6 small red skinned potatoes, cleaned but not peeled
2T. extra virgin olive oil
1 t. chopped fresh rosemary (1/2 t. if using dried rosemary)
1/4 t. salt
1/8 t. black pepper

Pierce each potatoes a few times with a fork. Place the potatoes, in a single layer, in a microwave safe baking dish and cover with plastic wrap. Microwave on high until the potatoes are about half tender, about 5 minutes. Carefully remove the plastic wrap, it releases all the steam! Let the potatoes cool and cut them lengthwise into quarters.

Heat the oil and rosemary in a large skillet over med-high heat until the oil is hot. Add the potatoes. Cook, stirring occasionally, until crispy and golden brown, about 8 minutes. Season with salt and pepper and serve hot!

Oh those look so good! I've learned Bryan doesn't like rosemary, but I like how you can change up the herbs - like I could use this method with garlic! Or Italian seasoning! Thanks :) I love me some potatoes! And ones you can microwave too.
