1
Preheat and prepare
Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly oil it to prevent sticking.
2
Wash and halve
Wash the new potatoes thoroughly to remove dirt. Pat dry with a towel. Halve larger potatoes so all pieces are roughly the same size (about 1–1.5 inches).
3
Crush garlic and chop rosemary
Smash the garlic cloves with the flat side of a knife and roughly chop them, or mince finely if you prefer less texture. Strip the rosemary leaves from the stems and chop the leaves finely; reserve a small sprig whole for garnish if desired.
4
Toss with oil and seasonings
Place the halved potatoes in a large bowl. Add the olive oil, chopped rosemary, crushed/minced garlic, coarse sea salt and freshly ground black pepper. Toss thoroughly so each potato is evenly coated. Taste one (careful, it will be uncooked) to check seasoning levels and adjust salt or pepper as needed.
5
Arrange on baking sheet
Spread the potatoes cut-side down in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Give them some space — crowding will cause steaming instead of roasting.
6
Roast
Roast in the preheated oven for 25–35 minutes, turning the pan once halfway through (about 12–17 minutes) so potatoes brown evenly. Roast until the potatoes are golden and crisp on the outside and tender when pierced with a fork. Smaller potatoes may finish closer to 25 minutes; larger to 35.

7
Finish with butter and herbs
When potatoes are done, remove the pan from the oven. Immediately add the optional unsalted butter and let it melt over the hot potatoes; gently toss the potatoes in the pan (use a spatula) to coat them in butter and pan juices.
8
Add parsley and lemon zest
Sprinkle the chopped fresh parsley and lemon zest over the potatoes and toss lightly to combine. Taste and adjust seasoning with a pinch more salt or pepper if required.
9
Serve
Transfer the roasted rosemary new potatoes to a serving dish. Garnish with the reserved rosemary sprig if desired and serve hot.
