MEDITERRANEAN: Oven-Roasted Joy

So many countries claim the rosemary and potato combination, that I tried to include them all.

Another recipe that I thought was long gone. I found it years ago in a cookbook based on the TV show Friends. I don’t even remember the title. Anyway, I found it this week in my mom’s recipe box. I guess I had written it down for her once upon a time. The list of ingredients is missing, but if I remember right, this recipe is for 7 new red potatoes.

1. Preheat oven to 400°. Scrub potatoes under cold, running water. Cut into ½-inch pieces. Toss with 2 TBSP oil until coated. Spread in a single layer on a baking sheet and cook for 30 minutes.
2. Stir together 2 TBSP oil, 1 TBSP garlic, 1 tsp rosemary, salt, and ½ tsp pepper. Pour over potatoes and toss gently. Continue baking for about 15 minutes.

this recipe makes my mouth water. :)
Charissa, thank you for your thoughts on the Buy Nothing lifestyle. I am taking your words to heart and while I'm not sure about this next year, I do want to do this. I look at the waste we perpetuate and I participate in without realizing it. I also like the idea of discovering more of the Proverbs 31 woman in me--her stewardship and resourcefulness, similar to what you've found in yourself. That's so cool!
Okay, I've got to get back to school and wedding stuff. I'd like to write more but will wait until the dust has settled a little. Just wanted you to know I read yours and Jeff's comments with appreciation and enjoyment. And no, I had no idea you were doing this! :)
