POTATO DUO WITH HERBS AND GARLIC

Simple and delicious. These potatoes are crispy on the outside, buttery on the inside, and seasoned to perfection with fresh herbs. Feel free to use just one type of potato. You can also mix and match the herbs to your liking. I found this combo especially flavorful but not overwhelming.

Serves about 6

• 1 lb (½ kg) potatoes, scrubbed and cut into chunks or spears
• 1 lb (½ kg) sweet potatoes, scrubbed and cut into chunks or spears
• 2 Tbsp olive oil
• kosher salt and freshly ground
• pepper, to taste
• 4 cloves garlic, minced
• 1½ Tbsp each fresh thyme, fresh
• oregano, and fresh parsley (leaves only)
• 1 Tbsp cilantro (leaves only)
• 2 Tbsp butter, or more, to taste

Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). In a small bowl, mix olive oil, seasoning, garlic, and all herbs. Place cut potatoes into a large bowl. Pour oil mixture over it and mix well. Place onto a parchment-lined baking pan in a single layer. Dot with small pieces of butter.
Bake for a total of 1 hour, removing the pan from the oven every 15 minutes to flip over the potatoes. Remove from oven and cover baking pan with foil. This allows potatoes to steam and they get buttery soft.

TIP: For a real treat, when potatoes are finished baking, sprinkle with Parmesan cheese before covering.

VARIATION: For pareve version, drizzle with more olive oil or melted coconut oil, instead of butter.
