Mean's Basque Potatoes

A spicy full flavored version of roasted baby potatoes. I adopted this from the Recipezaar account and I am the very happy new owner of such a winner Now that I have made it several times myself, I totally agree with reviewers recomendations to add carrots to this too. I have also added cubed sweet potato, but be aware that they will be fairly soft, rather than crunchy like the potatoes. A firm favourite in our home from now on ! Enjoy Oven time depends on how much you are making.. mine took 45 minutes for the potatoes to be nice and crunchy. It serves 4 at our place... 6 would be fighting each other for the biggest serving LOL.

I'm not one to have stuff swimming in oil, so I reduced the butter to 2 tbsp and the olive oil to 1 tbsp. It still turned out beautifully, nice flavour. Wonderful spicy smell while cooking.

    Very good... Cooked it part way and carried it to a neighbors in a tin foil pkg.. Finished it off on the grill. Very tasty accompaniment to beef. I used baby white potatoes sliced 1/4".Nora

    I love cooking with fresh herbs, Rosemary thrives in the desert, Thyme survives in partial shade, but parsley has a short life cycle in a hot climate. I would make this again even if I had to purchase the herbs. I used red skin potatoes and had to substitute sweet paprika. Basting with the garlic and herb butter-oil resulted in beautifully browned potatoes with the flavors of Rosemary, Thyme, and garlic enhanced by a bit of heat from the red pepper. Thanks Mean Chef!

    Easy side-dish. The spices added color and flavor to what often becomes(yawn)just another potato dish. This a good dish to consider when you are cooking for a crowd.
