Simply seasoned with garlic, rosemary and thyme, these Roasted Baby Red Potatoes are a delicious and easy side dish. Great with steak or chicken for a hearty and scrumptious meal!
Is there any other side dish that is as tasty and comforting as roasted potatoes? Pretty sure there isn’t. I made these Roasted Baby Red Potatoes last year for Thanksgiving. Last year, my husband and I stayed home and had a Thanksgiving dinner for two. The weather was just plain miserable that week. I remember that it rained like crazy that whole weekend. I’m talking, should we start building a boat-type of crazy. We got between 8-9 inches of rain that weekend. That whole year was pretty much just rain, rain, rain.
Anyway, when it’s just the two of us or we have a couple of guests, we don’t need large amounts of side dishes for Thanksgiving. And, I want something really simple to prepare to go with whatever else I’m cooking. I tend to make pot roast. It’s one of my husband’s favorite dishes, and I love the fact that it can be cooking away in the crockpot while I do other things.
Shortly before the pot roast was done, I popped these potatoes in the oven. About thirty-five minutes later, we had delicious oven roasted red potatoes to go with our pot roast. Such a great and simple side dish! Of course, you don’t have to just save these for a special occasion. They make a tasty side dish any time of year! Another delicious and really simple side dish that would be great for a Thanksgiving for two meal is my Super Tender Green Beans with Butter and Garlic.
