These are some of the best roasted potatoes I have ever tasted! I let my potatoes sit in the oil mixture overnight, then poured the oil into the roasting dish and popped it in the oven while it was preheating. I then tossed in the taters and continued with the recipe as written. This produced potatoes with fantastically crispy outsides and lovely, creamy insides. Wonderful flavor and easy prep. Thanks Ingrid!

I made 1 1/2 batches of these potatoes, served enough for the 2 of us & used the rest to make a very satisfying roasted potato soup! We thoroughly enjoyed the flavor combo from both garlic & rosemary, both as roasted potatoes AND as part of the soup! Definitely a recipe worth keeping around! Thanks for posting it!

I live near Seattle, WA with my husband of 11 years and our pet ferrets.
We're lucky enough to own a home with a big, south facing yard which is great for entertaining. It also allows me to have a big vegetable garden where I grow most of my own herbs and a lot of the vegetables we eat in the summer, as well as a bunch to share with family and friends.
In my professional life, I'm an accountant- but what I really love to do is cook and eat! Most of my ability is self-taught. I love to experiment with new recipes and techniques, most of which I get from watching way too much food tv and reading foodie magazines.
Recently I decided to start a personal chef business and have cooked for a few clients. I love the challenge of designing a menu to fit a family's specific tastes and needs, and then cooking it for them to enjoy.
For me, cooking is an expression of love. Everyone needs to eat, but food is more than just fuel for the body, it can nurture and comfort ~ give us a memory from childhood, or a retreat when we feel ill. I always think of the people who I'm cooking for when I make a dish, and there is no better compliment than when someone enjoys the food I've made especially for them.
I also like to do OAMC- style cooking, but instead of using it mainly to get dinner on the table, I focus on getting lunch in the bag! Eating out is far too expensive in both dollars and nutrition to make a habit of, yet I want a hot, satisfying meal to enjoy in the middle of the day. Cookin ahead allows me to have great food, without sacrificing either my dollars or my waistline.
