Roasted Purple Potatoes

Last weekend I had the ladies over for lunch and holiday decorating- YES, I decorate in early November. The menu was a sweet potato and roasted onion sandwich and roasted purple potatoes. Here is the recipe for the potatoes. Fair warning- don’t make too many, because you’ll never stop eating them….

6 large purple potatoes (quartered lengthwise)

1/8 cup olive oil

1 tbs garlic (minced or dried)

½ tsp dried basil

1 tsp dried dill weed

½ tsp dried thyme

½ tsp dried sage

½ tsp dried parsley

1 tsp crushed red pepper

Salt and pepper to taste

Toss the oil, potatoes and spices in a bowl, coat well. Place evenly, skin side down, on a roasting pan/baking sheet (I use silpat). Bake at 475 for 25 minutes.

This is a great side dish or an amazing main course when smothered in pesto!
