Step 1

Preheat the oven to 425°F. Chop the potatoes into bite-size pieces and place them in a large bowl. Drizzle with olive oil and toss with your hands to coat thoroughly.

Step 2

Sprinkle generously with salt, pepper and rosemary. Toss again to distribute the spices over all the pieces. Spread the potatoes across a well oiled baking sheet.

Step 3

Roast for 35-40 minutes, stirring the potatoes and turning them over with a large spatula at last once halfway through. Potatoes are done when they are fork tender, golden brown, and slightly crisp on the edges. Sprinkle with chives before serving, if desired.
