Potato Heaven

My body wants potatoes. Not just any potatoes. Red potatoes chopped up and tossed into a glass pan. Drizzled with a tablespoon or two of olive oil. Throw in a chopped onion and a couple of cloves of chopped garlic. Add a beet if you like. Then, the most important part. Rosemary and Thyme. Use it liberally. Don't forget the sea salt.

Bake the whole concoction for an hour. Mix it around half way through. I don't know what temp I put it at. 375?

I can't get enough of the stuff. I don't know which ingredient I am responding to. I'm thinking it's the rosemary or the thyme. I've made the potatoes almost every night for a week. Last night I made a small pan, saved some for HT, and then went ahead and ate the rest before he got home. I rationalized with the argument "I carried two babies, I get the potatoes."

I am adapting my concoction daily with whatever produce we have. It's the Roasted Root Vegetables recipe on page 209 of The Whole Life Nutrition Cookbook. So easy! So delicious! Thank you Kathy for suggesting this cookbook. I love it!

Tonight I made a bigger pan. Keep your fingers crossed for HT.

For me, it would be the oil and salt.

*sigh* I don't have the taste buds necessary to enjoy herbs. I am all for the potatoes and onions and oil roasting happily away though. Delish! One of our favorites... Thanks for sharing. :)

I think even I could manage to make those!

For me it was roasted fresh green beans. Tossed in olive oil, sprinked with sea salt, add onions or not, and bake at 400 until lightly brown. I made a big pan for the family and ate all of them. yum

Mmmmm, that sounds so good. I have to try it. I think the rosemary would do it for me, and beets... :)

Thyme. That's it for me. As in Too much thyme on my hands, or as in Thyme in on my side, yes it is...:) Thanks for the cookbook recommendation. Nothing I love better.

This works so well with carrots and beets and turnips and sweet potatoes, too! Love this recipe!
