Roasted Melange of Potatoes a la Valerie

Roasted Baby Potatoes

Look at these little beauties. I discovered these tri-coloured potatoes at one of our local markets. This is a dish I make all year but this time around I parboiled the potatoes and them finished them off in my BBQ. This cuts back on the time in the oven or in this case the BBQ and consequently in the kitchen as well. I just love these simple dishes!!I had to have a fancy name for this simple offering to make them seem special. I served them with Hamburger a la Stroganoff....wink...wink... what an easy mid week meal.



What they lack in complexity they make up for in flavour!!
