4 tablespoons 60mlFresh rosemary leaves
  = (or 2 tbspns crumbled dried rosemary)

1 tablespoon 15mlKosher salt

Recipe Instructions

Preheat oven to 375 degrees.

Rinse the potatoes in a colander and allow to dry, or pat dry with paper towels.

If using fresh rosemary, remove the needlelike leaves from the fresh rosemary branches, and chop them very fine.

Put the potatoes in a roasting pan and add the olive oil, salt, and chopped rosemary or crumbled dried rosemary. Using your hands, roll the potatoes in the olive oil, salt, and rosemary so they are all well coated, and spread them out in a single layer.

Bake for 30 minutes. Check to see if the potatoes are done; when a fork easily pierces the center of a potato, they are ready. If not, bake 5 or 10 minutes longer and test again.

Serve warm or at room temperature on a platter, surrounded by fresh rosemary branches, if you have them.

This recipe yields 16 to 20 appetizers.
