Ingredients
Scale
Potatoes
- 2 pounds purple potatoes
Marinade
- 1/4 cup balsamic vinegar
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
- Preheat the oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) to prepare for roasting the potatoes.
- Prepare the potatoes: Wash the purple potatoes thoroughly and cut them into wedges to ensure even cooking.
- Make the marinade: In a large bowl, combine the balsamic vinegar, olive oil, minced garlic, salt, and black pepper, mixing well.
- Coat the potatoes: Add the potato wedges to the bowl with the marinade and toss until all pieces are evenly coated with the mixture.
- Arrange for roasting: Spread the coated potatoes out on a baking sheet in a single layer to ensure crispiness and even roasting.
- Roast the potatoes: Place the baking sheet in the oven and roast for 30 to 35 minutes, flipping the potatoes halfway through the cooking time to brown them evenly and cook until tender.
- Serve: Remove the potatoes from the oven once golden brown and tender, then serve warm as a flavorful side dish.
Notes
- Make sure to cut the potato wedges size-consistently for even cooking.
- Flipping the potatoes halfway through roasting helps them brown evenly and become crisp.
- You can garnish with fresh herbs like rosemary or parsley for added flavor.
- For a spicier twist, add a pinch of red pepper flakes to the marinade.
