David Rocco’s Roasted Potatoes Recipe
Step 1: Peel the potatoes and cut them into wedges.
Step 2: Give the herbs a rough chop. I sometimes leave the sprig of rosemary whole and just put it on top.
Step 3: Arrange the potatoes in a roasting pan and sprinkle with the herbs. Throw in the garlic, then add quite a bit of extra-virgin olive oil and salt. This is a case when I recommend being liberal with salt. Potatoes absorb it well, and the dish won’t become too salty, just very tasty. Toss well to season all the potatoes.
Step 4: Roast in a 400°F oven for about 40 minutes or until golden.
