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.
