Potatoes with Garlic and Rosemary

Potatoes are a versatile and highly appreciated ingredient in Romanian cuisine, and this simple yet delicious recipe will transform an ordinary ingredient into an exceptional dish. We start by peeling the potatoes, making sure to remove all the unusable parts. After peeling, we cut them into uniform cubes so that they cook evenly. We then place them in a pot with cold water and a teaspoon of salt to give them a pleasant taste. We bring the water to a boil and let the potatoes simmer for about 3 minutes. This step is essential to soften them slightly, but we should not cook them completely, as they will continue to cook in the oven. After 3 minutes, we drain the potatoes and set them aside. Meanwhile, we prepare the marinade that will add flavor to the potatoes. In a bowl, we mix olive oil, crushed garlic, herbs such as rosemary or thyme, salt, and pepper. This will be the marinade that infuses the potatoes with delicious flavors. We use a wooden spoon or a whisk to ensure all the ingredients are well combined. The marinade should have a liquid consistency but not too thin, so it sticks to the potatoes. After obtaining the marinade, we arrange the potato cubes in an ovenproof dish. We evenly drizzle them with the prepared marinade, making sure to cover them all well. Then, we gently mix with our hands or a spatula to ensure each cube is coated in the delicious flavors of the marinade. We preheat the oven to a high temperature, around 220 degrees Celsius, and place the dish with the potatoes inside. It is important to watch the potatoes while they are baking, as the cooking time may vary depending on the oven. Usually, the potatoes need about 25-30 minutes to brown nicely and become crispy. We can stir them occasionally to ensure they cook evenly. When they turn golden and crispy, we take them out of the oven and let them rest for a few minutes before serving. These tasty potatoes pair perfectly with a juicy steak and pickled cucumbers, offering a pleasant contrast of textures and flavors. Enjoy your meal!
