I Made Ina Garten's Roasted Potatoes, And They're

I made Ina Garten's roasted potatoes, and they're

I recently made Ina Garten's roasted potatoes recipe and think it's perfect for Thanksgiving.
The easy dish only requires a few main ingredients, and has barely any steps.
The crispy potatoes are perfectly creamy on the inside, and the rosemary adds so much flavor.

I love making Ina Garten's dishes every holiday season.

The "Barefoot Contessa" star is beloved for whipping up recipes that are easy, comforting, and delicious — everything I need when planning my Thanksgiving menu.

From her ooey-gooey overnight mac and cheese to her showstopping corn bread (which I believe should be on everyone's Thanksgiving menu), Garten's side dishes have never let me down during the holidays.

And the Barefoot Contessa always has the best potato recipes.

I make Garten's potato-fennel gratin for my family every Christmas, and her parmesan smashed potatoes are always a huge hit at Friendsgiving.

But this year, I wanted to try something a little more classic, so I decided to make her rosemary roasted potatoes.

Garten's recipe takes less time — and has far fewer steps — than Emily Blunt's roast potatoes, which crashed the "Barefoot Contessa" website in 2020.

But I was surprised to find that Garten's rosemary roasted potatoes are still super delicious — and just as impressive.

Here's how I made them.

I began by cutting my potatoes.

Garten says the potatoes should be well-coated, so I made sure to mix them well.

Then I placed my potatoes on a baking sheet.

It was time to get roasting!

I baked my potatoes in the oven at 400 degrees Fahrenheit for one hour. I flipped them twice — at the 20-minute and 40-minute mark — to ensure everything browned evenly.

But remember, every oven is different. Garten says to make sure to cook the potatoes until they're browned and crisp.

My potatoes looked beautiful as they came out of the oven.

The potatoes had developed a gorgeous golden hue, with the flecks of rosemary adding nice pops of color. The entire kitchen smelled incredible and my family couldn't wait for dinner.

And they tasted absolutely delicious — the cooking process couldn't have been more simple.

Garten's rosemary roasted potatoes had a delightfully crispy exterior that gave way to the warm and creamy middle — perfection.

And the rosemary brought such a burst of surprising flavor to a dish we all know and love. Both my parents were huge fans.

"I don't usually use rosemary in my cooking as I'm an oregano lover, but I'll use it in the future with potatoes," my mom said.

"It's very good," my dad added. "And a healthier alternative to potato gratin or mashed potatoes for Thanksgiving."

If you need a quick and easy Thanksgiving side dish, Garten's rosemary roasted potatoes are perfect.

Even the "Barefoot Contessa" star has admitted that she's tired of cooking this year, and what holiday feast is more stressful than Thanksgiving?

With so many dishes to juggle on the menu, Garten's recipe is a great way to get delicious potatoes on the table with as little effort as possible.
