So, to pick up where I left off about nutritional food myths, here's a great recipe for potatoes, that poor vegetable that has been relegated to the "forbidden" category. This is a simple (yes, simple) recipe, nutritious, boasts ZERO cholesterol, is low in fat, versatile and flavorful. For the calorie conscious, each serving is about 250 calories. This works beautifully with grilled chicken and a salad. Here you go -
Roasted Baby Pots with Herbs
Serves 2
3/4 pound baby potatoes, scrubbed and peel left intact
2 TBSP olive oil
1/2 tsp black pepper
1/4 tsp salt
2 TBSP minced fresh garlic
1/4 cup minced fresh herbs such as parsley, oregano, basil, chives, dill or rosemary. Combining several of them makes this even more tasty. Experiment!
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
In a medium bowl toss together all of the ingredients except the fresh herbs if using.
Pour into a baking dish just large enough to hold everything.
Bake for 30 minutes, stirring the potatoes halfway through baking.
Remove from oven, sprinkle the fresh herbs on top and serve hot.
