Roasted (Parboiled) New Potatoes with Herbs and Shallots
I love the shape (round) and size (small) of these new potatoes - the young potatoes! I don't have to cube them further like what I did in this roasted potato recipe. With these young-lings, I rinse them quite thoroughly in running water (cos' I will be eating thy skins), then boil for about 10 minutes or less, to slightly cook it (about 70-80% cooked).
When cooled, I make slight cuts and crosses on each potato so that my seasonings can get right in. Yay!
It's not early. In a couple more months, it will be summer. How about doing this on a Camping Grill ?
Roasted New Potatoes with Shallots and Herbs
Ingredients: Potatoes prepared as above; garlic, minced; shallots, minced; rosemary, oregano, basil (I use a mix of dried herbs); unsalted butter; salt and pepper
Directions: Mix the potatoes with seasonings in a bowl (put everything in a deep mixing bowl, cover bowl with a plate and give it a good shake while holding the plate to cover the bowl). Place everything on a lined (with foil) baking tin or tray. Wrap the potatoes partially in foil and roast them in a pre-heated oven (to finish cooking) at ~200degC for about ~10mins
Partially boiling the potatoes before roasting/baking them render them moist after oven roasting! The sequence will be parboil -- make "cuts"-- season -- roast. For outdoor camping, you can skip the parboiling step. Make sure the potatoes are clean, poke some holes on them using a fork, then use the same recipe above to season, wrap them in aluminum foil and put them on a camping grill.
These Roasted Potatoes can be served with either Roasted Chicken , Baked Fish Fillet or Fish Kebab together with either Roasted Cauliflower, Spicy Green Beans or Sauteed Celery and Carrots.
Do you get a particular variety for a specific recipe? Yukon or Russet? Red or Yellow?
Me: I do not know my potatoes very well. I admit. I hardly buy potatoes to make a dish on its own. Usually, I get potatoes when I want to cook chicken curry and I go for Russet-type potatoes for that. Did I do it right?

Plenty of potatoes here....I should try this yummy and easy recipe!
I love spuds and I am very particular with what variety I use for specific recipes. Your young-lings are adorable. I must try this, it looks like the perfect side dish to all the "western" dishes I make for my daughter. :D
Simple yet adorable : ).
The smell of freshly roasted potatos with all those herbs... is just incredible, isn't it? Just fills up the kitchen with this wonderful aroma. :)
That's a frugal way to cook potatoes ... to enjoy fresh potatoes!! I love herbs! Been trying to look for summer savory, but yet to have luck as of now. Is it easy to find it in Cali?
Simple recipe but so delicious. All you need now is a roast chicken to go with it. :P

You are a great chef, always sharing wonderful recipes.
I love potatoes to cook in any way and I always go for Russet type too. Thanks for sharing :)
Looks really good, and seems hard to go wrong with shallots and potatoes :)

Yummy-as-can-be
They look delicious. I also like cooking with new baby potatoes,only they charge alot more for them You'd think it would be less becasue of a shorter growing season they didn't have to wait until they reache full size and maturity.
These made my mouth water! It's dinner time and these look absolutely delicious!
Love the pictures and love the potatoes. Looks very delicious...mmmm
Pei-Lin, I will try looking for them in Cali! Thanks for reminding me :)
Sukhmandir, hahaha you are right! Many times, the more "mini" they go, they more expensive they get! :O
I notice you like to use aluminum foil to broil food..and this method is good and clean!! must try your method one day!
My Asian Kitchen, I usually use aluminum foil when I roast. Saves some time in cleaning and clearing any mess ;p
Ha, I barely know about potatoes too. I just use russets or any baby potato that I see available at the market!
I think russet potatoes are really versatile. I like to use red potatoes for potato salad. I'm so hungry now :P
Who knew Mr. Potato Head was so articulate! heehee. He should come visit with my "Spud Trooper.'' ;)
ohhh wow, these look awesome. yumo!
