Ingredients:

  • 3-6 large russet potatoes (washed and peeled)
  • 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)

Directions:

  1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
  2. Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil and spray. Set aside.
  3. Fill a large pot with 1-2 quarts water, add 1 tsp salt and bring to a boil, then reduce to a simmer.
  4. 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.
  5. 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.
  6. Combine all of the remaining ingredients for the olive oil mixture except the Parmesan chees, the Parmesan can be used for garnish.
  7. Pour the olive oil mixture over the potatoes, stir and let sit for about 5 minutes.
  8. 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!
  9. You can serve with a side of ketchup or with parmesan sprinkled on top. Enjoy!
