Roasted Red Potatoes With A New Spin

Last nights fabulous dinner was made even more splendid by a new recipe I found for roasted red potatoes.

Yesterday I marinated some salmon in my favorite glaze I did a few months back.  Its simple and sweet!  Along with that I did some fried okra.  I was never really taught how to fry okra but watching my mom do it so many times when I was younger gave me a fair guess.  I took my okra, washed it, and then sliced it up.  After that I tossed it in a bag with some flour, salt, pepper, and smoked paprika.  Tossed around with a little oil.  Then I tossed it in my frying pan.  I did it in small sections to ensure all my okra was cooked.  Both of those items turned out beautifully and my roommate was happy with them :)

Normally I love tossing the diced red potatoes with some oil and seasoning.  Yesterday I wanted to do the same thing, but I happened upon a new recipe while I was looking up a cooking time for the potatoes.  This recipe said that if you toss the potatoes with olive oil and white wine it gave the potatoes more flavor and added a missing piece to my normal recipe.  It is a simple, only calling for wine, garlic, oil, salt and pepper.  You cut up your potatoes, spread them on a pan, drizzle equal parts of wine and oil over them.  Then sprinkle with garlic, salt, and pepper.  I forgot my garlic when I made it but even so they turned out perfectly!  I threw in some minced basil and cilantro as a bonus.  It didn't make much of an impression on the flavor but it is always pleasant to throw in some fresh herbs!

After cooking all this wonderful food last night I looked over the blog that I used last night.  I think I will be going back to it soon.  There were a few more roasted veggie recipes on there I would love to get my hands on!  Go on and check the recipe out Roasted Red Potatoes
