I have this idea in my head that everyone knows how to roast potatoes in the oven. Who really needs a recipe for roasted potatoes? But when I took a bite of those crispy on the outside and creamy on the inside, delicious little red potatoes...I had one of those, "I need to take a photo of my food because it's that good," moments. I'm pretty sure the success has to do with the quality of the potatoes. I have been roasting potatoes in the oven for decades. Same method every time. But sometimes they just taste amazing. The little red potatoes in this week's CSA share were prime examples of when all is good in the world. So if you are standing in your kitchen with your little red potatoes, wondering if you want to steam, mash, saute or roast them for dinner tonight, the answer is roast! And here is how you do it: 10 small red potatoes 1/4 cup oil, melted butter, or dripping from a roast Sea salt Black pepper Fresh herbs (rosemary, thyme, etc.), optional Method: Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Wash potatoes and pat them dry. Cut the larger ones in half or quarters, and leave the smaller ones whole so that they are all relatively the same size. Place the potatoes in a glass or ceramic baking dish that is large enough for the potatoes to have a little space between each one. Coat with the oil, butter or dripping. (I used canola oil for mine and they are delicious, but butter and dripping are fantastic if you want to indulge.) Generously sprinkle sea salt and freshly ground black pepper over the potatoes. Place in the center or top shelf of the oven and bake for a little over one hour, or until they are golden and crispy on the edges. Serve hot.
