This crowd-pleasing recipe adds a delicious touch of class to the humble potato.

Potatoes have gotten a bad rap for ages. First enjoyed thousands of years ago in Peru by the Inca Indians, they’ve finally gained the title of “superfood,” boasting plenty of vitamins and fiber and minimal fat. 

Roasted mini potatoes are crunchy on the outside and tender inside. Remind you of anyone? They’re comforting as home and reminiscent of family dinners past. These versatile veggies go with nearly everything. Plus, they’re easy-to-make for a quick mid-week supper or delightful holiday dinner. There’s no chopping, dicing, or peeling, leaving you plenty of time to greet your guests while slow roasting them to bring out their best side.

Are Roasted Mini Potatoes Healthy?

These roasted mini potatoes are not only bursting with yummy flavor, they’re packed with healthy nutrients, such as potassium, iron, folate and vitamin C. They’re also a great way to satisfy your craving for carbs without paying a high caloric price. When eaten with the skin, they’re also loaded with fiber. Merely 82 calories per serving with minimal fat, these fragrant herbed potatoes are packed full of flavor, so you can even forgo the salt. The rosemary, thyme and garlic provide just enough of a punch to please even the pickiest palate. Plus, they fit perfectly into most dietary preferences, from gluten-free to vegetarian.

Parboil for Added Crunch

Parboiling potatoes simply means partially boiling. Place the whole potatoes in a pot with cold water and a pinch of baking soda and salt. Cover them and boil for up to 10 minutes. This helps break down the starch and enables a thin layer of gelatin to form on the surface, which later browns in the oven creating that delicious, crispy crunch. Parboiling also saves cooking time, which, let’s face it, always seems to take too long with potatoes. You can even parboil them for up to two days and store them in an airtight container in the fridge. Later, simply follow the recipe and roast.

INGREDIENTS

• 1 1/2 pounds of small potatoes halved or quartered to ensure even cooking
• 1 tablespoon of extra virgin olive oil
• 1 teaspoon of dried rosemary crushed
• 1 teaspoon of dried thyme
• 1/2 teaspoon of garlic powder
• 1/2 teaspoon of kosher salt or to taste
• 1/4 teaspoon of freshly ground black pepper
• Fresh parsley finely chopped (optional, for garnish)

INSTRUCTIONS

Prep and Season

Start by preheating your oven and lining a baking sheet with parchment paper. Toss the mini potatoes with olive oil and a blend of dried herbs for a burst of flavor.

Roast

Spread the potatoes in a single layer on the baking sheet and roast until they’re beautifully golden and tender, shaking the pan halfway for even cooking.

Garnish and Serve

Optionally, add a sprinkle of fresh parsley for a fresh touch. Serve these herbed mini potatoes hot and enjoy their crispy exterior and soft interior.

Devour!

Frequently Asked Questions

What are the disadvantages of using herbs?

Herbs are a great way to keep your body healthy because they contain vitamins, minerals, antioxidants, enzymes, amino acids, phytonutrients, polyphenols, flavonoids, terpenes, essential oils, carotenoids, sterols, and sterolins. Some even contain cannabinoids.

But there are also lots of side effects associated with herbal remedies. For example, taking too much herb could cause liver damage or even death. Herbal supplements may interact with prescription drugs, which means that they might affect how well the drug works.

Some herbs can interfere with blood clotting, while others may increase bleeding when taken with anticoagulants (blood thinners).

There are also safety concerns for pregnant women and children.

The bottom line is that herbs aren't safe for everyone. If you're considering trying them out, do your homework. Look up each product's side effects and warnings and read reviews online.

What is the difference between basil and oregano?

Both of these herbs belong to the Lamiaceae family. They share similar flavors, but the differences are obvious.

Oregano is more pungent than basil. It also adds an extra layer of flavor to foods.

Basil leaves are smaller than oregano leaves. They are also softer and less aromatic.

The two herbs are often used interchangeably. Although they are quite similar, each has its distinctive qualities.

What herb heals all wounds?

The answer to this question varies depending on the type and severity of the wound.

The herb comfrey (also known as knitbone) has long been used for its healing properties, particularly for skin injuries such as cuts and bruises.

Studies suggest that comfrey contains allantoin, which helps speed up healing. Other herbs commonly used for healing wounds include calendula, plantain, and yarrow. These herbs help to reduce inflammation, stop bleeding and speed up the skin's healing process.

In addition to herbs, honey has also been found to have powerful antimicrobial properties that can help prevent wound infection.

Herbs for wound care is an age-old practice that continues to be used today. However, herbs should not replace medical treatment, and always consult your doctor before using herbs for healing. With the right herbs, you can give your body the support it needs to heal naturally.

What herbs should you take daily?

Depending on your health and wellness needs, many herbs can be taken daily to help improve your overall health.

Popular herbs for daily consumption include ashwagandha, turmeric, ginger, holy basil, chamomile, lavender, peppermint, and cayenne pepper. Ashwagandha is an adaptogenic herb that can help the body resist stress and anxiety. Turmeric is known for its anti-inflammatory properties, while ginger has been shown to aid digestion and boost immunity. Holy basil may help with managing blood sugar levels, as well as providing a calming effect. Chamomile can promote relaxation, while lavender is used in aromatherapy for its calming properties. Peppermint can help aid digestion and reduce nausea, while cayenne pepper has antibacterial properties that may boost your immunity.

As always, you must consult your doctor before taking herbs daily to ensure they are safe for you and do not interact with any other medications or herbs you may be taking.

There is no shortage of information on what foods we should eat and how much exercise we should do. But when it comes to what supplements we should take, there is a dearth of knowledge.

This is because most of us aren’t sure which ones work or which are junk. So we go online and look up whatever we can find.

But often, these articles are written by companies trying to promote their products. Which means they're usually biased toward their product.

So instead of finding unbiased advice, we end up reading marketing hype.

This makes sense since marketers make more money selling stuff than doctors.

The medical industry isn’t even allowed to advertise directly to consumers anymore. The best way to learn about natural remedies is to read independent reviews.

This is where you'll find real users sharing their experiences with each supplement. These sites give you an honest opinion of whether or not a particular herb helps.

Users will often share their experience with a supplement after taking it. This gives you a good idea of its effectiveness and any side effects.

You can also check out forums dedicated to herbalism. Here you can ask questions and receive answers based on personal experience.

Of course, there are plenty of other ways to learn about herbs.

There are books, websites, blogs, videos, podcasts, and classes. All of them provide valuable information about natural remedies.

What are healing flowers?

Healing flowers are plants that promote peace and tranquillity. They help us unwind after a stressful day and make us feel more relaxed.

They also help us connect to our inner selves and reconnect with nature.

These beautiful blooms are used for meditation, prayer, and contemplation.

We call hundreds of varieties of flowering plants ‘healing’ because they provide such a fantastic experience.

This list includes roses, lilies, irises, daffodils, peonies, tulips, hyacinths, and many more.

But there are two species that I find particularly special. These are the Geranium and Lilium.

Geraniums are very easy to grow and come in various colors. Liliums are also known as lily-of-the-valley, which means 'lily' and 'valley.' Both of these species are popular garden flowers.

Healing flowers are often found growing near water. They are said to bring peace and calmness to those who meditate with them.

In ancient times, people would light candles in flower petals to symbolize the sun. This way, they could honor the sun without needing to go outdoors.

Some say that when you look at these flowers, you may see angels dancing.

How To

What to look for in herbs?

Herbs contain natural compounds that may help treat various conditions. In addition, herbal remedies may provide relief when used along with conventional treatments.

Herbal remedies include teas, capsules, tablets, ointments, creams, lotions, oils, and topical applications. Some of these products are meant to be taken internally, while others are applied externally.

The most common uses of herbal remedies include relieving minor aches and pains, treating cold symptoms, reducing fever, controlling coughs and sore throats, easing digestion problems, soothing skin irritations, alleviating menstrual cramps, and providing general health benefits.

When buying herbs, look for the following:

• Freshly picked plants. Avoid dried herbs unless they've been stored in a cool place. If possible, buy herbs directly from farmers' markets.
• Pure extracts. These are made by extracting the active ingredients from herbs using alcohol or water. Look for 100% pure extractions.
• Certified organic herbs. Organic herbs must meet strict standards set forth by the USDA.
• Natural flavors. Many herbs have strong scents that can overwhelm other foods. Adding flavorings such as vanilla, almond, or orange helps mask their smell.
• Potency. The amount of active ingredient per unit weight varies depending on the type of herb.
• Packaging. When purchasing herbs, check the packaging to ensure that it's clean and free of chemicals.
