Roasted Yukon Potatoes

Roasted Yukon Gold Potatoes-It's a truly wondrous time of year in the seasons two taste home. it's the time of year when we start harvesting the very earliest baby potatoes! While growing your own is not required at all for this roasted baby potatoes recipe, it is whole-heartedly suggested. The earthy, almost truffle-like scent and flavor, combined with the creamy softness inherent in a potato taken straight from the ground is a revelation to experience.

This is the type of recipe that is so simple on the surface of it, that many don't give it enough respect. They figure, potatoes plus hot oven equals roasted potatoes, right? Like most things, the simplest ones are the easiest to get wrong, or at least not as right as a cute little bunch of baby spuds deserve! There are some specific details that must be paid attention to that make a world of difference, and we will go over them here.

The proliferation of choices available in almost every supermarket has made baby potatoes somewhat commonplace. Even different colors and heirloom varieties can be picked up quite readily. We chose to use a Yukon gold variety, as we have found that is what grows best for us here in our garden, but by all means, any small variety can be used to great effect. Potatoes with different levels of starh and water will cook a little differently, but the results will still be delectable no matter what.
