Rosemary Roasted Potatoes

Roasted Potatoes

Funny story. These crispy rosemary roasted potatoes were prepared for lunch with a friend but were forgotten in the oven and then eaten for dinner!

Since I am feeling a bit philosophical at the moment I am going to ask you a question? Ever wondered why the poor potato is always associated with negative phrases and idioms? You have the potato head, or a couch potato and even small potato! It’s absurd because if there was to be a poll this would be the single most popular vegetable! Absolutely delicious all by itself or when used with other ingredients. Potatoes impart perfect texture and flavor without overpowering the taste.

In fact, it is the perfect example of “looks can be deceptive!”. Such a humble-looking thing this potato of ours, and yet so malleable. And did you know, if eaten with skin it can be extremely nutritious too? I think I am going to make it my ideal in life and strive to be like a potato (well! apart from the shape that is ;)).

Keeping all the philosophies aside, here is the recipe. These roasted potatoes go well on a salad or as an appetizer to a more elaborate meal or even a complete meal in itself.
