26 May Fit2Go Recipe: Rosemary Roasted Potatoes
WHAT IT IS:
A side dish which pairs well with many meat main dishes! I like to pair this especially with pork or red meat dishes! Oven Baked Basil Pork chops is a separate recipe!
WHAT YOU’LL NEED:
Fresh Ingredients:
- 1.5lb petite Yukon Gold potatoes
- 4 sprigs rosemary
- 1 T minced garlic
- 1 T Kerry Gold Butter
- Salt and pepper to taste (I recommend pink Himalayan sea salt & Fresh course ground black pepper)
Kitchen Equipment:
Krista’s Recommended Kitchen Items:
These are the products I use which I really like and recommend because you won’t be disappointed. Certain kitchen items can really make a difference. Different materials of baking sheets and other cookware (skillets etc.) can distribute the heat to the food differently creating different cook times and different results!
- Food Scale for accurate measurements
- Rachel Ray Baking Sheets (These baking sheets are my favorite because they are durable and the material evenly distributes the heat yielding better results than other baking sheets I’ve used)
- Stainless Steel Mixing Bowls (I recommend using stainless steel mixing bowls because they clean up a lot easier. Often times you just need to rinse them out. They don’t fray inside like plastic ones and since they aren’t plastic you can guarantee there are no harmful chemicals leaking in to your food!)
- Cutting Board
- Chef Knives
- Crock pot (Keep it simple! This is a very nice, sleek looking stainless steel crock pot which has lasted me 5+ years so far. Stainless steel means it doesn’t stain if anything runs down the sides. Just wipe off and it will stay looking brand new!)
- Crock pot liners (For a simple, quick and easy clean up. Simply line crock pot with this, and then toss when finished! Worth the money. Washing by hand is a pain, you often have to let it soak to remove any baked on residue. If you’re using a dishwasher- think about it- How much are you spending on dish washer soap and running hot water for the dish washer? A crock pot takes up a lot of room in the dishwasher which allows you to be able to put less dishes in!)
- Meat thermometer (I like this meat thermometer because it is sleek and simple to use. There are some crazy meat thermometers out there these days, ones with multiple probes and even blue tooth! But keep it simple, trust me you will be happy you did! Don’t over complicate things! I’m a great cook, and this is all I use. It is all you need!)
- Mixing spoons (These mixing spoons are coated in silicone which makes them non-stick and they do not splinter or stain like wooden ones. This a durable set for a good cost!)
- Not used for this recipe, but used for many others: I recommend a cast iron skillet in every kitchen!
INSTRUCTIONS:
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees
- Slice potatoes into halves. If there happens to be any potatoes where the halves are larger than the rest- cut those into quarters
- Place potatoes on a sheet of foil on a baking sheet
- Sprinkle minced garlic over potatoes
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Add sprigs of rosemary on top
- Divide T of Butter in half and place on top of potatoes
- Fold foil in half long way and twist together then fold the other two edges together as well to form a pouch around the potatoes, sealed tightly at the top
- Roast in the oven about 35-45 minutes, until you are able to lightly press a fork through the soft potatoes
