join our Healthy Lifestyle & Cooking Groups

This week's Recipe of the Week features my most favorite veggie in the world, the potato!  I can eat it anytime, anywhere- mashed, boiled, fried or baked.  I have found a new way to make my beloved potato, roasted.  Roasted Garlic Potatoes are delicious and low fat!  Make plenty of these because they go fast.  Perfect with any meal and a great substitute for fried potatoes.

What you need:

• 8 new potatoes (the red ones), cleaned and scrubbed
• 4 cloves of minced garlic
• 1/4 cup of olive oil
• 1/2 teaspoon of dried Rosemary- optional
• Salt and pepper to taste

What you do:

1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit.  Cut each potato into wedges. Each potato should yield about 6 wedges.  Place wedges, garlic, olive oil and seasonings into a pan, toss or mix the potatoes with your hands to coat evenly. Make sure the wedges lay flat in the pan- no layering.
2. Place in oven without covering.  Roast for about a half hour or until the potatoes are fork tender.  Turn the mixture a couple of times during cooking.
