Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Potatoes

    Peel the potatoes and cut them into 1-inch cubes. Rinse the cubes in cold water to remove excess starch, then drain well.

  2. 2

    Mince the Garlic

    Peel and finely mince the garlic cloves. Set aside.

  3. 3

    Chop the Rosemary

    Finely chop the fresh rosemary leaves. Set aside.

Cooking

  1. 4

    Heat the Oil

    In a large frying pan, heat the olive oil over medium heat until shimmering.

  2. 5

    Fry the Potatoes

    Add the cubed potatoes to the hot oil in a single layer. Fry for about 10-12 minutes, turning occasionally, until they are golden brown and crispy.

  3. 6

    Add Garlic and Rosemary

    Once the potatoes are golden, add the minced garlic and chopped rosemary to the pan. Stir to combine and cook for another 2-3 minutes, until the garlic is fragrant.

  4. 7

    Season the Potatoes

    Sprinkle the fried potatoes with salt and black pepper, tossing to coat evenly.

  5. 8

    Drain and Serve

    Using a slotted spoon, transfer the fried potatoes to a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil. Serve hot, optionally garnished with grated Parmesan cheese and chopped fresh parsley.
