Roasted Potatoes

I think when I was a kid we had mashed potatoes and chicken cutlets maybe once a week? Oh, and I mean pretty much from age 3 until I left for college. Mashed potatoes are so good. And my mom’s recipe? Yeah, that should be on Food Network. 

My love for potatoes evolved from mashed potatoes, to roasted sweet potatoes, to literally any potato on this earth. So what did I do with this love fest? I combined all of my favorite potatoes into one dish. And let me tell you, you will not be disappointed. The sweet potato gave a touch of sweetness, the Japanese sweet potato roasts easily, the yellow potato provides a lighter texture, the purple potato has a dry and starchy texture, and gives a pop of color! You can’t go wrong with this combo. All of these potatoes play a different role in this dish, but together, they create the perfect texture, roast, and taste.

Let’s be real, seasonings play a big role too. Salt, pepper, thyme, and garlic powder. Besides the sweet potatoes, potatoes don’t have much flavor (don’t worry potatoes, we still love you!), so we have spice you up with the perfect combination of seasonings. 

This recipe is perfect as a side for any meal. I personally love having it as a side with my lemon pepper honey salmon. But again, it does pair well with any sort of meat or in a bowl. The other day I heated up these leftover potatoes with some sauteed veggies and topped it off with avocado and a fried egg. Holy yum! 

Enjoy this recipe. Fuel your body. Much love!
