Roasted Specialty Potatoes with Herbs

Here's a colorful new side of potatoes. It's as simple as tossing an assortment of specialty potatoes—red, purple, yellow—with fresh herbs, and roasting. Serve as an accompaniment to just about any entree or as a small plate with a drizzle of aioli or other flavored mayo.

Ingredients Measures
Small Red Bliss potatoes 4 pounds, 8 ounces
Small Purple Peruvian potatoes 4 pounds, 8 ounces
Small Yukon Gold potatoes 4 pounds, 8 ounces
Olive oil ¾ cup
Chopped parsley 1/3 cup
Chopped tarragon 1/3 cup
Chopped thyme 1/3 cup
Chopped rosemary 3 tablespoons
Salt 1 ½ tablespoons
Black pepper 1 tablespoon

Method

  1. Cut potatoes in half. Simmer until tender; drain and cool. In large saute pan, heat oil over high heat. Add potatoes, herbs, salt and pepper; toss briefly to coat potatoes. Transfer to sheet pan; roast in 500°F oven about five minutes or until golden.

Yield: 24 servings

As the demand for lighter, healthier menu options and bold global flavors continues to grow, potatoes provide the perfect canvas for menu innovation.
