Tuscan Potatoes (a la Olive Garden)

Here is another fantastic side. Olive Garden has the most FANTASTIC roasted red potatoes, called Tuscan Potatoes. Depending on the dish, sometimes they have this yummy sauce on them, too. Mmmm mmm. :) Here is Olive Garden's recipe for the basic roasted potatoes, but trust me, there is nothing basic about these babies.

Tuscan Potatoes
from Olive Garden
serves 4



-2 lbs baby red potatoes
-6 T extra virgin olive oil
-8 garlic cloves, minced
-2 T butter, melted
-2 T fresh rosemary, chopped (I used dried because it was what I had on hand)
-Salt, to taste
-Pepper, to taste

Preheat oven to 450 degrees. Wash and dry potatoes. Cut into wedges and place in a large mixing bowl. Toss potatoes in oil, melted butter, garlic, rosemary, salt, and pepper. Transfer seasoned potatoes onto sheet tray. Roast for 25-30 minutes. Shake pan occasionally for even roasting. Serve immediately.
