[quote=Anonymous]Depends on the size.  When I roast potatoes (or most vegetables, for that matter), I like everything to be less than 1" in diameter.  Bigger than that, and they can retain too much moisture so the inside steams instead of getting all nice and roasty.

So it depends on your potatoes.  If they're small enough, leave them whole.  If you like the look/shape of whole fingerlings, leave those whole too, or cut them into inch-long pieces.  But if you can't find any potatoes that are small enough and you're going with larger red ones (or, this time of year, purple ones), you'll have to cut them into 3/4" to 1" chunks.

Toss them in oil and rosemary, then spread them out on your baking sheet in a single layer, not crowded.  That way they all get roasting action.  Do it at 400 or 425, give them a shake or a toss after 15 min., and then keep an eye on them every 5 min. till done.

Some people salt them when tossing with the oil.  I like to salt them when they're on the way out of the oven.
