What Makes A Good Garlic & Rosemary Roasted Tri-Color Potatoes?
Potatoes
The star of the show. I know, it says tri-color potatoes. But this recipe is super flexible, you can actually use any kind of potato you want or have available. The key is to cut them in uniform pieces, so they cook evenly. You don’t want one tender bite followed by a mushy one.
I prefer using tri-color fingerling potatoes. They are easy to find in supermarkets and farmer’s markets. Other than they look prettier on my IG feed, they are easier to prepare as you only have to cut them in half. They also have so much flavor which is probably one of the reasons they are pricier than regular potatoes too.
The same goes for regular baby potatoes. They are usually my second option. They’re also easier to cook but you have to keep an eye on them because you don’t want to end up with mushy pieces. Other options are Yukon Gold, Red, or Russet potatoes. They are creamy and keep their shape well. You can even use sweet potatoes too!
Herbs And Seasonings
For this recipe, I use garlic, white onion, and rosemary. I like to keep the flavor profile simple, which makes it easier for me to pair it with any dish I cook. If you love herbs, you can also add a bit of oregano, thyme, or flat parsley.
At times I would also sprinkle it with a few red pepper flakes to add depth to the flavor. This recipe is extremely versatile, you can experiment on the flavors as much as you like. You can use seasonings like Cajun, Taco, or even Steak seasoning.
