Herb Roasted Potatoes
These are some of the best roasted potatoes you will ever lay on your dinner plate! With the fresh herbs from the garden, pearl onions, whole crushed garlic cloves, and finished with grape or cherry tomatoes, these roasted new potatoes will be a welcome side dish to any meal.

| 1. | Clean the potatoes and cut into bit sized pieces about 1-inch in size and place into a large bowl. |
| 2. | Smash the garlic cloves with the side of a chef knife to release some flavor, then toss them with the potatoes. Then add the pearl onions, olive oil and fresh chopped herbs. Toss well and season with salt and pepper to taste. |
| 3. | Transfer the ingredients to a 9X13-inch roasting pan, and roast in the oven for 20 minutes, remove from oven and stir, then return to oven for another 20 minutes, remove and stir again. Test a few potatoes with the tines of a fork, when the potatoes are tender, then add the tomatoes and stir well. Return to the oven and roast another 5 minutes. |

These are really simple yet full of flavor! I love roasting potatoes, carrot, tomatoes and garlic, especially during these cold fall nights!

Lindsey,
So glad you like the recipe!
Claudia,
They are amazing together, just great with stir fried vegetables, just put the tiny tomatoes in toward the end of cooking.

That looks sooo good. I’m low on tomatoes this year, but have a bunch of smaller eggplant to use up. Do you think this would be good with sliced eggplant instead, if I gave the slices a quick oven roasting while getting other ingredients ready? Or would I even need to oven roast, if the slices were thin enough?

Elizabeth,
Our summer crop of tomatoes and eggplant is still producing, but they are on the wane for sure.
If you use the eggplant in place of the tomatoes, what I would do is cut them into 1-inch cubes and then add them to the oven with the potatoes, and allow them to roast along side. If you cut the eggplant into smaller slices then you can add them at the last 20 or 30 minutes of cooking time.
Let me know how they come out!
Bon appétit!

I LOVE using both herbs and tomatoes, so these look fabulous- and I’ll bet the leftovers would make a gorgeous frittata!
