The Story Behind It

The Tale of Crispy Roasted Potatoes

Story updated September 18, 2026

Roasting potatoes with fat until crisp is a technique long used across European cooking, notably in British Sunday roasts, where roast potatoes cooked in drippings became a traditional accompaniment by the 19th century.

Ingredients

Scale:· 4 servings

2 lbs baby potatoes, halved
3 tbsp olive oil
1 tsp garlic powder
1 tsp dried rosemary
1 tsp salt

Instructions

1Preheat the oven to 425 F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2Toss the halved potatoes with olive oil, garlic powder, rosemary, salt, and pepper until evenly coated.
3Spread the potatoes cut-side down in a single layer so they can crisp properly.
4Roast for 30-35 minutes, flipping once halfway through, until deeply golden and crisp on the outside and tender inside.
