I don’t think the rosemary is traditional, but it tastes amazing. You can also add some minced garlic, if desired.

I saw these on his Instagram… I was out shopping today and brought a $5 rotisserie chicken, exhausted. I thought, those potatoes looked amazing. It seemed easy, I’ll try.
I didn’t have a proper size baking dish, so I used two small ones. One dark square pan and one vintage pyrex.
The dark pan cooked as per directions flawlessly, the pyrex dish took twice as long, so I’d recommend upping the temp of your oven by 25° if using a glass pan.
I’m not the biggest fan of lemon flavored savory dishes, but when I tell you the texture of these potatoes is unlike anything I’ve ever tasted in my life, I mean it.
Like slightly browned & slightly crispy in some parts, but creamy and melt in your mouth on the inside. 10/10 so glad I tried this recipe, and it wasn’t hard work at all. Worth it after an exhausting day!! And these will definitely impress people as a potluck side dish, omg
How many portions does this make?
So good I’ve made these potatoes 4 times just this week. The flavor gets inside the potatoes in a way I’ve never had before. These are SO easy for being so good!!
