Use the Superstone® Garlic Baker for Roasting Baby Potatoes

Now that Thanksgiving is past us, we can start to calm down and enjoy some peace and quiet for a bit. Even with a much smaller holiday than usual, there was still a lot of hustle and bustle that came with the day. So. Much. Cooking.

As much as I love cooking and feeding my loved ones, sometimes a nice dinner for two is just what I really need. Between kids and work, my husband and I get very little time together, especially during the holidays, so sometimes you just have to make it happen.

Lately, for us that means we send the kids to grandma’s house and we have a dinner date at home. For our most recent date night we enjoyed roasted chicken with some of the most delicious sides I have ever made (if I do say so myself). Seriously...they were that good.

Among the sides that I made were bacon wrapped asparagus and roasted baby potatoes. I’m pretty sure that the key to the delicious dinner that I made was that I used the Garlic Baker which was perfect for roasting baby potatoes for a dinner for two.

How to Roast Baby Potatoes in the Garlic Baker

Sometimes using new kitchen tools can be overwhelming. I have even found it to be overwhelming to use kitchen tools in a different way that I am used to. For instance, I have used the garlic baker many times to roast garlic, but until recently that was it. It was only in the last couple of weeks that I decided to make potatoes with it. I am glad that I did! It’s so simple to roast baby potatoes in the garlic baker, you will be surprised at all of the work you won’t have to do!

• Leave the skin on the potatoes. It holds in the moisture while also crisping the outside. That means that the crispy outside will change to the fluffy potato in one bite. Delicious!
• Do not stack the potatoes
• Allow space between each potato
• Coat potatoes with olive oil and seasoning
• Keep lid on the baker
• Turn oven to 350 degrees and bake for 1 hour

When it comes time to serve the potatoes, you can leave them whole, or you can slice them in halves with another drizzle of olive oil and seasonings. Another popular way to serve up roasted baby potatoes is to smash them immediately after roasting them, again topping them with a drizzle of seasoned olive oil.
