Roasted Heart Shaped Potatoes (Printable)

Golden heart-shaped potatoes, flavored with rosemary and garlic, crisped to perfection and tender inside.

# What you'll need:

→ Potatoes

01 - 1.75 lbs Yukon Gold or red potatoes, about 6 medium

→ Seasonings & Herbs

02 - 2 tbsp olive oil
03 - 1½ tsp sea salt
04 - ½ tsp freshly ground black pepper
05 - 2 tbsp fresh rosemary, finely chopped
06 - 2 cloves garlic, minced

→ Garnish

07 - 1 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped

# Directions:

01 - Preheat the oven to 425°F. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
02 - Peel the potatoes and slice them into ⅓ inch thick rounds. Using a small heart-shaped cookie cutter, cut out heart shapes from each slice. Save the potato scraps for another use like soup.
03 - In a large bowl, toss the heart-shaped potatoes with olive oil, salt, pepper, rosemary, and minced garlic until evenly coated.
04 - Arrange the potato hearts in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Make sure they are not overlapping for even roasting.
05 - Roast in the preheated oven for 25–30 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden brown and crispy on the edges.
06 - Remove from the oven and sprinkle with fresh parsley if desired. Serve hot.

# Expert Suggestions:

01 -
  • The contrast between the crispy, rosemary-scented exterior and the fluffy, tender interior is absolutely addictive
  • These are incredibly simple to make but look like something from a fancy restaurant
  • Perfect way to turn ordinary ingredients into something memorable without any fancy techniques
02 -
  • Soaking the cut potato hearts in cold water for 30 minutes removes excess starch and dramatically improves the crispiness
  • Dry the potatoes thoroughly with a clean towel before tossing with oil or they will steam instead of roast
  • Don't overcrowd the baking sheet or the potatoes will end up soggy instead of perfectly crispy
03 -
  • Save the potato scraps to make quick mashed potatoes or add them to soup for zero waste
  • If you don't have a heart cutter, a small round cutter works just as well for uniform pieces
  • These can be prepped up to 4 hours ahead and stored in cold water until ready to roast
