    Minty Roasted Potatoes

    Minty roasted potatoes with fresh mint

    Potatoes, potatoes every day, and I'd be in heaven.If only. It's not every day that I can indulge in potatoes. But the luscious spud calls out my name at least a couple of times a week, and I cannot resist. Not least because it is so easy to get something really delicious from a potato in just minutes.So when I came home from my last grocery trip with a bag of gorgeous Yukon Golds, I wondered what I could do to these buttery-rich babies that would enhance their natural deliciousness. The answer was right in my garden: mint.

    Mint, one of my favorite herbs that's used pretty often in the Indian kitchen, is also one that's almost too easy to grow, even for a novice gardener.

    For one, it survives DC's fairly harsh winter and bounces back each year to reward me with armfuls of fragrant, almost other-worldly and deep-green goodness. Its cooling properties are also invaluable in a summer kitchen. I love its soothing flavors so much, I could use mint in almost anything.

    So I decided to use it to dress up my lovely potatoes for a dish that turned out to be not only quick and easy but also quite a find. My Mint-Smothered Spuds are something I know I will be making again and again. I loved the boldness of the mint paired with the creamy crunch of the potatoes. For all of the few minutes they were around, I surely was in heaven.

      I share your love of the spud, Vaishali. They're so so good any way you make 'em! When I roast potatoes, I usually steam the slices for a couple minutes first - this way they're always soft and moist, and cook faster too.

      Who wouldn't like potatoes, that too if offered in the way you have prepared? Adding mint to potatoes is a very good idea Vaishali! Those cute potatoes look just beautiful with mint.
