Servings 8 people
Ingredients
- 3-6 large Russet potatoes, washed & peeled depending on how much you want to make!
- 1/4 cup Olive oil
- 2 tsp. salt
- pepper to taste
- 1/2 tsp. garlic powder
- 2 tsp. rosemary
- 1/2 tsp paprika
- fresh Parmesan optional
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
- Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil and spray with Pam. Set aside. (You may need two baking sheets depending on how many potatoes you use).
- Fill a large pot with 1-2 quarts water, add 1 tsp. salt and bring to a boil, then reduce to a simmer.
- Peel the potatoes and slice them about 1/2 inch thick. Place the potato slices into the simmering water and cook for 3-4 minutes. They should be a little soft, yet still a little hard! Drain potatoes and run cold water over them to slightly cool.
- Using a small heart shaped metal cookie cutter cut out as many hearts as you can. Place the remaining potato scraps in a bowl with water and use them to make mashed potatoes if you'd like.
- Combine all of the remaining ingredients for the olive oil mixture except the Parmesan cheese, the Parmesan can be used for garnish!
- Pour the olive oil mixture over the potatoes, stir and let sit for ~5 minutes.
- Roast potatoes in oven for 22-25 minutes, flipping them over once at the half way point. If your oven has a broiler, broil the potatoes for an additional 5 minutes to get the nice golden brown color. Be sure to watch them carefully so they don't burn!
- Enjoy dipped in ketchup, or just with the Parmesan sprinkled on top!
