Rosemary Roasted Gold Potatoes

​This potato dish has become a standard in our house. They are easy to fix, and if time is short you can zap them in the microwave rather than roast them in the oven. Although if you choose that route, you'll miss the heavenly aroma of rosemary wafting through and beyond your kitchen.
