Why I Love these Roasted Potatoes

- Naturally WW-friendly with just a touch of olive oil
- Easy to scale up or down depending on how many you’re serving

Ingredients & Substitutions
- Red potatoes – I like red potatoes because they hold their shape well and roast up beautifully. Yukon Golds work just as well if that’s what you have.
- Olive oil – A little goes a long way here. Keeping the oil modest is the key to keeping this recipe Weight Watchers friendly.
- Garlic – Fresh garlic adds warmth and depth. Garlic powder can be used in a pinch, but fresh is best.
- Fresh rosemary – Rosemary gives these potatoes their signature flavor. If using dried rosemary, start with about one-third the amount.
- Salt and black pepper – Season to taste.
- Fresh rosemary sprigs (optional) – Purely for garnish, but a nice finishing touch if you’re serving guests.
