Garlic and Rosemary Red Potatoes

This quick and easy garlic and rosemary red potatoes recipe is made on the stovetop instead of in the oven.

I was craving potatoes the other day, but I wasn’t sure I had enough time to make them with our dinner. So instead of baking potatoes or roasting them, I decided to boil quartered red potatoes until they were cooked through. Then drain the potatoes and saute them in oil with garlic, rosemary and green onions. This created red potatoes with a bold flavor in a fraction of the time it would have taken them to cook in the oven.

I like to crush rosemary with a mortar and pestle to release more of the flavor and to make the needle-like leaves more pleasant to eat.
