Aromatic oven roasted potatoes…
One of my favorite root vegetables is potato and on days when I don’t cook any meat I make sure to prepare a potato dish. Btw, who doesn’t like potatoes??? Can we possibly say No to French fries and Potato chips??? There are a million ways of cooking potatoes, such a friendly and versatile vegetable: bake ’em, stir fry ’em, roast ’em, fry ’em, add ’em to any curries/stews/soups etc etc…
One of my favorite healthy ways of making potatoes is by roasting them in the oven. And I love to make it aromatic, for that reason I add fresh rosemary and roast them. The mesmerizing aroma from the rosemary along with the other seasonings make the roasted potatoes taste absolutely delish. This makes an excellent side dish for any meals.
