Cinnamon Rosemary Roasted Potatoes are simple to create. This dish delivers impressive and festive results. A great last-minute addition to your holiday menu. The recipe serves four but it can easily be doubled and tripled.

Small red potatoes are tossed in olive oil and then seasoned with ground cinnamon, fresh rosemary, kosher salt, and freshly ground black pepper. The prepared potatoes are then roasted on a baking sheet along with whole garlic cloves and cinnamon sticks.

Adding cinnamon to roasted potatoes gives them a holiday flavor boost and turns an everyday recipe into a festive side dish for your holiday feast.I used the red potatoes to give the dish a prettier, more festive presentation. However, feel free to use whatever variety you have on hand. A mixture of red, yellow and purple potatoes would also look beautiful.

This is a great make-ahead dish that takes little time to come together. Make the recipe in the early morning and the potatoes can be reheated in the oven just before serving. A simple, time saving and flavorful holiday side dish.
