Baby potatoes always make the best side dish for any meat or chicken dish. I love to add these cute babies into several dishes, my favorite is to have them as a side or snack. Potato is such a great vegetabe that you can use it in many dishes from stews to breads and soups. Have you ever tried Potato Soup? It is one of our favorites in Winter and you might wnt to check it out before freezing months come! Potatoes could be the favorite vegetable for most people in the form of french fries, but I guarantee you will love these roasted baby potatoes as much! You know what? We didn’t use oven or grill to roast them, we used a shallow clay pot and it was amazingly tasty!
Baby potatoes are mostly roasted in oven, but I used a different method this time. I saw it on a lovely Turkish food blog named evcini and I loved the idea of using clay pot for roasting potatoes. We mostly use clay pots for stews as in this Beef Stew in Clay Pot. It gives a very nice smoky flavor to dishes. Roasting something in a clay pot is such a perfect cooking method and you feel like you’re having picnic when eating what you cooked in it.
These roasted baby potatoes are unquestionably healthier than french fries yet as tasty!
The best thing to pair with these potatoes is an appetizing yogurt sauce flavored with mint and garlic. These could serve as a fantastic snack this way! You can definitely enjoy it when watching your team’s game o your favorite movie.
You need a shallow clay pot for this recipe since all potatoes should touch the bottom. A great smell fills the house when cooking potatoes in a clay pot and there will be something reminding you of some good memories from your childhood. Our grandmas use potatoes very often, right?
Don’t worry when you see the bottom of the pot looks like burned, you can easily clean it with hot water after you’red one with it. That burning process gives them that smoky flavor and it makes you feel like you’re roasting them on wood fire.
