Hi Crankin ~ Try this healthy warm (or can be served chilled) red potato salad. I do not have the exact measurements, but it always turns out great and is very popular.
Boil the potatoes in slightly salted water until fork-tender. While potatoes boil, make the dressing. In a large bowl, whisk together olive oil, lemon juice, finely chopped red onion, garlic, rosemary, fresh parsley or cilantro, salt and pepper to taste. You may add other herbs, if you desire. When potatoes are cooked, drain and let them cool slightly. While still warm, cut potatoes in quarters or eighths (depending on size of potato) and immediately toss with dressing. Let marinate a bit before serving. (Adjust salt, pepper, oil, lemon, to taste before serving.) Serve warm, at room temperature or chilled. You may add some chopped roasted red peppers for taste and color or my favorite -- add cooked green beans! Healthy and Good!!
That does sound yummy!!I agree, Celiac. Roasting red potatoes is another delicious way to prepare them. By using olive oil, they are healthy, too! My friend roasts the potatoes like you do only with lots of whole unpeeled garlic cloves. Before serving the potatoes, she squeezes each clove of roasted garlic onto the potatoes. YUM!! (I think I'm going to have roasted red potatoes and garlic for dinner tonight!!!)
I will have to try this next time ,thanks for sharing.I like to chop them into bite size pieces and then toss with olive oil, rosemary, parsley, and minced garlic. I then spread them out on a baking sheet and put them in the oven at 375 for about 30-45 mins (depends on the size you cut the potatoes) until they're a tad crispy on the top. It makes them taste slightly sweet and savory at the same time.
I have a bunch of red potatoes that I do not know what to do with. Does anyone have a good mashed potato recipe that is healthy to use these in? Or perhaps another dish that is easy and healthy?
Thanks
