Categories     < 4 Hours

Time 1h10m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 lb salad potatoes, cut into 2-inch chunks
1 lb butternut squash, seeded and cut into wedges
6 small red onions, quartered
4 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
8 cloves garlic, unpeeled
2 red romano bell peppers, seeded and cut into chunks (long ones)
4 sprigs rosemary
4 sprigs bay leaves
sea salt

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 200*C 425*F.
  • Bring a large saucepan of water to the boil, add salt and the potatoes and cook for 5 minutes.
  • Drain, then put ina large baking tin.
  • Add the squash, onions and 2 TBs of the oil.
  • Toss to coat, then roast in the oven for 10 minutes.
  • Add 1 extra TBS oil to the baking tin, followed by the garlic and peppers, 2 sprigs of rosemary and 2 sprigs of bay leaves.
  • Roast for 15 minutes, then add the rest of the herbs and continue roasting for 10 to 15 minutes.
  • Turn the vegetables occasionally until they are all tender and the edges are slightly charred.
  • Train the remaining oil over the top, then serve.

Tips:

  • Use a variety of potatoes: Different types of potatoes have different textures and flavors, so using a mix will give your dish a more complex flavor and texture profile.
  • Don't overcook the potatoes: Overcooked potatoes will be mushy and bland. Cook them just until they are tender, but still hold their shape.
  • Use fresh bay leaves: Fresh bay leaves have a more intense flavor than dried bay leaves. If you don't have fresh bay leaves, you can use one dried bay leaf for every two fresh bay leaves.
  • Add the bay leaves at the beginning of cooking: This will allow the bay leaves to infuse their flavor into the potatoes as they cook.
  • Season the potatoes generously: Potatoes are a blank canvas, so don't be afraid to season them generously with salt, pepper, and other herbs and spices.
  • Serve the potatoes immediately: Potatoes are best served immediately after they are cooked. If you need to make them ahead of time, reheat them gently before serving.

Conclusion:

Potatoes with bay leaves is a simple but delicious dish that can be enjoyed as a side dish or main course. The bay leaves add a subtle flavor that complements the potatoes perfectly. This dish is also very versatile, so you can easily customize it to your liking. For example, you can add other vegetables, such as carrots, celery, or onions. You can also add different herbs and spices, such as rosemary, thyme, or garlic powder. No matter how you choose to make it, potatoes with bay leaves is sure to be a hit!
