I finally got this year’s baby potatoes, so I decided to prepare my favorite recipe that I always like to make at this time of the year. Roasted baby potatoes in the Oven are really especially nice and sweet, and if you haven’t try them this way yet, I definitely recommend that you do.
I always make it according to this recipe, and it is actually extremely simple. The only major dilemma is whether to peel it or not. There isn’t really a right answer here, as each one is good, depending on how you prefer it. I peeled it this time, actually it is more accurate to say that I scraped off the peel, which is really very thin. This way, the baby potatoes will bake a little better and get a nice golden color.
Roasted Baby Potatoes in the Oven – perfectly tasty and sweet
However, if you prefer it that way, leave it in the peel and prepare it in a completely identical way. Before baking, it needs to be boiled very briefly to soften it. When it is strained and cooled a little, the ingredients are added, and there really aren’t too many of them. A little oil, rosemary, salt and pepper, but in my case, finely chopped garlic is also mandatory, which gives the dish the right aroma.
Also, I always add whole cloves of garlic, which will lose their intense flavor after roasting. They are really very nice with these new potatoes from the oven. And that’s it, you can serve it with some meat or on its own as a light meal. I also recommend that you make a cold cream-based sauce that goes perfectly with this delicious roasted baby potatoes.
