Easy Side Dishes: Herbed New Potatoes

Potatoes are delicious and a wonderful compliment to any dinner. This version uses new potatoes, but you can use any potatoes you happen to have in your pantry. If you're using potatoes larger than new potatoes, peel and cube them for much the same effect.


It may seem like a lot of butter, but you'll be pouring it over a large bowl full of potatoes. It's not much butter for a serving of 4.


Ingredients


2 pounds new potatoes, cut in half
1 large sweet potato, cubed (optional)
¼ cup of butter, melted
¼ cup parmesan cheese
1 tsp garlic powder
1 tsp dried thyme
1 tsp dried basil
1 tsp dried oregano
1 tbsp dried rosemary


Preparation


Heat oven to 425°F. Place potatoes in a large bowl. Pour melted button ton top. Add parmesan and herbs. Stir until all herbs are even distributed. Pour potatoes into a large baking dish that has been sprayed with baking spray.


Bake for at least an hour, a little longer if you've added sweet potato. Stir occasionally, about every 20 minutes. Check to make sure potatoes are cooked through by inserted a fork into the larger ones. It should slide through the potato with ease. Potatoes are done when a fork pierces them easily and they are slightly browned in color.


Remove from oven and transfer to a serving dish. Drizzle with any oil left in the pan. Serve immediately.
