Rosemary & Paprika Baby / Sweet Potatoes - by Gynelle Alves

Our family has been making these for years and years! Usually had as a side-show to a Sunday roast, maybe along with roasted onions, butter-nut squash and what-have-you… they hold their own beautifully, with maybe just some sour cream and chives on their side.






Ingredients:
As many baby or sweet potatoes as wanted, scrubbed clean
Rosemary, dried or fresh to taste
Paprika flakes to taste
Salt, freshly ground black pepper to taste
A little brown sugar (optional) mixed into,
1/4 cup butter melted with some olive oil or just olive oil

Method:
Par-boil your potatoes in plenty of salted water till just done. Rinse, drain and pat them dry. If using sweet potatoes, either slice them into 1/2 inch slices or chunks so that there is a bit of skin on. Pre-heat your oven to 200 degrees C. In a bowl, toss your potatoes with the melted butter/olive oil, salt, pepper, rosemary and paprika. Spread them out evenly in baking trays and bake till lovely golden brown, with the skins just crispy here and there. Sprinkle on a little more salt if needed and dig in.
