Sliced and Slow Roasted Rosemary Potatoes
Roast these deliciously easy potatoes low and slow for the first 15-20 minutes while assembling the rest of your meal and then pull them out, flip them over and finish them at a higher heat right before you serve.
These make a great side or, served with a bit of aioli for dipping, party snack.
After several days of sunshine, it’s foggy today, treetops blurring into a flat grey sky, the ground dark with dew. All I want is comfort. Comfort and salad. Crispy oven roasted potatoes, so simple, so satisfying. And a heaping helping of greens to rev me up, get me up and out into the world. I would like to write a story but I’ll settle for a short poem and a long walk.

How will you translate my breath
when it whispers across a tumbling darkness
so vast that the Milky Way glitters
on its shore like an empty bottle?
I give my words to you, without knowing
the color of your sky, and supposing,
somehow, that your answer will reveal
the color of your heart.

I love potatoes flavored with rosemary. Figures, because rosemary is a real favorite of mine. And potatoes. ;- Really nice — thanks. And Happy New Year!
