Herb Roasted Potato




If not for the medical advise, I would prefer taking potato daily instead of rice.  I love potato since young, potatoes in chicken curries , in curry puffs , mashed potatoes, potato croquettes and of course potato fries :))  Potatoes are basically bland so they need some herbs and spices to make them delicious. They contain lots of starch which is not good for me but I do eat at random when I have roasts for dinner. I  will have one or two in place of a bowl of rice. Herb roasted potato is one of my favourite sides when I am serving western food to the family. There are two more members who shared the same passion for potatoes....wild boar and piggy gal ! :))  This herb roasted potato is so flavorful that you can snack on it while watching your favourite TV programmes. It is so much healthier than snacking on fries :p


This is so easy to prepare and the herbs flavor bursting in your mouth with every mouthful will make you change your mind if you are not a potato lover.  The fresh italian parsley , garlic , cajun and cayenne pepper ,sea salt and a dash of  ground black pepper married well into this russet potatoes giving you an awesome taste that is to die for :p


boiled the potatoes in salted water  for 20 minutes.....


drained them and rub the chopped herbs - fresh italian parsley , garlic
and sprinkle ground black pepper , cajun and cayenne pepper all over
the potatoes. Before baking drizzle olive oil over the potatoes


bake at 200 º C for 30 minutes


I love the burnt part...flavorsome and mmmmm.....actually I can't
live without potato :p


one for me and two for Daddy...Josh doesn't like potatoes :(
but he loves chicken burgers and for the last one week
I have been busy baking burger buns for him
lots of homemade chicken burgers too !



Enjoy this simple and easy Herb Roasted Potatoes !

  8. Perfect potatoes. I love a good potato. Yukon gold are my favorite. They'd be great with your herbs. Potatoes aren't such a bad thing. They contain lots of potassium and other vitamins. Have a good day!

  12. It's hard not to like potatoes. They are so versatile and adapt to any cuisine. Being Italian, one of my favourite use of the potato is in my mom's gnocchi recipe.
