J'ai fait ces pommes de terre pour un dîner familial. La combinaison de l'ail et du romarin a rappelé les repas de mon enfance. Elles étaient croustillantes à l'extérieur et si moelleuses à l'intérieur, un vrai délice.

These crispy garlic and rosemary potatoes are lit! Tried them for a dinner with my buddies, and they couldn’t get enough. Super easy to make, and the flavors are on point. I added a bit of paprika for extra kick. Now, they always ask me to bring these to the potlucks.
