Description

Crispy, golden Vesuvio Potatoes tossed with garlic, rosemary, and a touch of chili. A bold and comforting Italian-inspired side dish that’s perfect for any meal.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 pounds Yukon Gold potatoes, cut into wedges
  • 4 tablespoons olive oil
  • 4 garlic cloves, thinly sliced
  • 2 sprigs fresh rosemary, chopped
  • 1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/4 cup white wine (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). If using a cast iron pan, place it in the oven to preheat as well.
  2. Boil the potato wedges in salted water for 8–10 minutes until just tender. Drain and let them steam dry for 5 minutes.
  3. Carefully remove the hot pan from the oven, add olive oil, and swirl to coat. Add potatoes in a single layer.
  4. Sprinkle with salt, black pepper, and crushed red pepper. Toss gently to coat evenly.
  5. Roast for 25–30 minutes, flipping halfway, until golden and crispy.
  6. In the last 10 minutes, add garlic slices and chopped rosemary to the pan.
  7. Optional: splash with white wine and roast for an additional 5 minutes.
  8. Serve hot, garnished with more rosemary or lemon if desired.

Notes

  • Letting the potatoes steam dry ensures extra crispiness.
  • Use a heavy pan to develop a golden crust.
  • Add garlic near the end to prevent burning.
