Garlic Roasted New Red Potatoes

Roasted Baby Red Potatoes with Garlic

(NOT LOW CARB, but can be part of a low carb diet if eaten in moderation)

This is a pretty simple recipe and other than the potatoes it only requires a cast iron frying pan, a 450 degree oven, a bowl to mix the ingredients in and 30 minutes of oven time.

Roasted Baby Red Potatoes

If you are diabetic only have 3 or 4 potatoes. It’s ok. Well it is for me anyway. I’m not your doctor! They won’t mess up your Blood Sugar that much at least they don’t mine. However, if you keep going back to the frying pan after you finish and nibble, nibble, nibble you will be in trouble. Show some restraint!

Ingredients:

  • 1/2 lb (or more if you like) of New Baby Red Potatoes ( These are the little round guys! MMMMMMM!! )
  • 8 or so fresh chopped garlic cloves or 1/4 cup of chopped from a jar ( I LOVE GARLIC! )
  • 4 Tablespoons of olive oil
  • 1/4 stick of salted butter (unsalted if you have to)
  • Big pinch of course sea salt or whatever you have.
  • A light sprinkle of ground pepper
  • Fresh Chopped Parsley

What to do now:

  1. Melt the butter (it will coagulate as it mixes with the ingredients. It’s ok.)
  2. Place everything in a bowl to mix it up good.
  3. Place everything in the cast iron frying pan. (or a roasting pan is fine I guess too)
  4. Place into pre-heated 450 degree oven. (There are Celsius conversion charts for you metric folks)
  5. Bake for 30 minutes. 35 if you really like them dark.
  6. Stir in fresh chopped parsley before serving

You won’t regret serving these with anything! Cooked too many? AWE… you’ll have to have them for breakfast or lunch or dinner again. :)

My wife thinks I am a god when I make these for her. Well… it’s a pretty easy way to please anyone. I love them with pan-fried sliced mushrooms. She hates mushrooms so I cook them separately then combine on my own plate. YUMMY!
