Receta Roasted Baby Potatoes
I mentioned in this Rib Eye Roast post during the recent holidays that I had made two side dishes to go with that fabulous roast. One of them, Roasted Baby Potatoes were really easy to prepare and required just a handful of ingredients. It worked out really well as I placed them in the oven while the roast rested on the counter.
This dish can easily be cooked totally on the stove as baby potatoes cook easily. I had the oven on and so it was convenient for me to put them in there. That way it freed me up to work on the other dishes I was preparing for the evening.
Cutting an X on the potatoes allows the seasoning to get into the potatoes and make them really tasty. It only takes a few extra minutes to do so. If you would like to cook the baby potatoes totally on the stove, simply add ½ cup (120ml) water after frying for 5 minutes. Cover the pan and reduce heat to low. Stir occasionally until potatoes are tender and water has evaporated. This should take about 15 to 20 minutes.
