An easy and quick brunch side that can be prepped the night before, these rosemary butter potatoes are the perfect treat for Valentine’s Day!
As the years have gone on, brunch has fast become one of our favourite meals to eat as a couple. Maybe it’s because we just can’t hack staying up too late to head out to a trendy restaurant. Maybe it’s because brunch is the most relaxed meal there is- whatever the reason, we love it!
It’s also become our favourite for holiday dining too. And even more than that, our favourite meal to eat at home. Weekend brunches are full of all the cozy things- eggs, potatoes- champagne!
On the usual Valentine’s Day menu? These delicious Rosemary Butter Potatoes that just so happen to be cut into little hearts! Besides the fact that they’re absolutely adorable, I love that I can make these ahead of time. Because let’s be serious, no one wants to be cutting little hearts into potatoes when they’re hungry for brunch!
Just prep the potatoes the night before, let them soak in some water and wrap up the rest in the morning. Looking to save even more time? Fry them the night before! You’ll be cooking them slightly again with the rosemary butter in the morning so they’ll crisp right up!

ROSEMARY BUTTER POTATOES
Ingredients
- 6 large russet potatoes scrubbed clean
- vegetable oil
- 1 tbsp rosemary, finely chopped
- 1 tbsp butter
- salt to taste
Instructions
- Prep potatoes. Peel and thinly slice into rounds. Thickness depends on you! There's no right or wrong here however the thicker they are the more they will need to be fried.
- Using a one inch heart cookie cutter, cut as many heart shapes as you can. This will depend entirely on how big your potato is.
- Warm up a medium sized skillet over medium heat. Pour in enough oil to fill skillet diameter, and to come up exactly to the height of the potatoes. You really don't need more oil than that. In batches fry potatoes, cooking them 4-5 minutes per side or until golden.
- Remove from heat and rest on a paper towel lined plate. You can do all of this the night before! Just make sure potatoes are cool and refrigerate.
- When ready to serve, warm up a large skillet. Add in butter. When melted, add in rosemary and stir until fragrant. Toss in potatoes and coat well. Season with salt and serve
I love the heart shaped!
