HERBED BABY POTATOES



Herbed Baby Potatoes image

I found this recipe on a pressure cooker website. It was written for a stovetop pressure cooker but I have an electric one so I tried with that. These are some of the best potatoes I have ever had. The simplicity really makes them amazing. You may use any type of fresh herbs but the rosemary was the ticket. I love recipes...

  • 4. Add rosemary & garlic cloves then pierce each potato once with a paring knife and add stock. Cover with lid. *this allows flavor to infuse into the potatoes

For smashed potatoes squeeze softened garlic cloves out of skins into potato roughly mash with mixer or masher if you need a bit more liquid add a dab of milk, sour cream or heavy cream.

Tips:

  • Baby Potatoes, Big Flavor: Enhance the flavor of your baby potatoes by choosing flavorful varieties such as Yukon Gold, red potatoes, or fingerling potatoes.
