Roasted Rosemary Potatoes

Look who came to visit Grammy this weekend.

And since we were smack dab in the middle of Round Top Antiques Week, we just had to go. What started as an antique show in the tiny town of Round Top, TX, has grown to included neighboring communities and the result is miles and miles of flea markets, each one bleeding into the next. The biannual event takes place in the spring and fall and you never know what you might find.

If you have a need for burial clothes, they've got you covered.

You might even run into Sasquatch.

My daughter said I should have bought this and placed it in the woods somewhere to see if there were any sightings.

Miss T found what she wanted.

Round Top/Warrenton are kind of in the middle of nowhere, so it's a lovely drive through the country. Especially when the bluebonnets are at their peak.

But, alas, all good things must come to an end. Then you have to go home and fix dinner. But these Roasted Rosemary Potatoes are a quick and easy side dish.

Start with red potatoes. You can find them in large or small sizes.

I usually go somewhere in the middle. Unless you're using the really small ones, half or quarter the potatoes so they're similar in size and place them on a foil-lined sheet pan. The foil is so you'll have very little clean-up.

Drizzle potatoes with olive oil. This is kind of an eyeball thing. You don't want so much that it puddles on the pan, but you need to give the potatoes a good coating. Sprinkle with salt, pepper and rosemary to taste. Remember that potatoes are dense, so be sure to add enough salt. Toss everything to coat.

Bake in a preheated 400 degree oven until potatoes are browned and fork tender. Depending on the size of your potatoes, this can take anywhere from 20-40 minutes or more.

These potatoes are so easy and so delicious that you may just want to make a meal out of them.

After a long day of antiquing, a bath is always in order.

Follow that with a good night's sleep and you're ready to go again.

Do you like to go antiquing or junking? Finding treasures that you can give a new life? If so, I'd love to hear about your greatest find.
