Recipe: Roasted Rosemary Peruvian Potatoes

These tiny potatoes have a lot of flavor and make a bright addition to any meal. They’re even great to eat cold at 10:30 in the morning. At that time and served cold, potatoes contain resistant starch, working more as fiber for you than calories and starch against you. Make a meal of it by pairing these potatoes with Chard and Roasted Butternut Squash.

Prep: 10-12 minutes
Cook: 30 minutes

Ingredients

• 3 large garlic cloves, minced
• 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
• 1 tablespoon fresh Italian parsley, chopped
• 1-1/2 teaspoons fresh rosemary, finely chopped
• 1/2 to 3/4 teaspoon kosher salt
• 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
• 1 pound Peruvian purple potatoes, unpeeled, cut into 1-inch pieces

Directions

1. Preheat the oven to 350 F.
2. In a medium bowl, combine the garlic, olive oil, parsley, rosemary, salt and pepper. Add the potatoes and toss until well coated.
3. Spread the potato mixture in a single layer on a rimmed baking sheet. Bake until tender when pierced with a fork, stirring occasionally, about 30 minutes. Serve warm.
