Hello, August, it’s so nice to see you! Did you know that August is the only month without a holiday? (Unless you count my birthday!) Good thing there are plenty of food holidays to get us through the last full month of summer. There’s National Chocolate Chip Cookie Day (that was yesterday, folks), National Root Beer Float Day (tomorrow), National S’mores Day (10th), National Rum Day (16th), and National ‘Bacon Lovers’ Day (20th) to name a few.. okay a lot.
But we’re not celebrating any of those, today.
The Foodie Extravaganza is a monthly party hosted by bloggers who love food! Each month we incorporate one main ingredient or theme into recipes to share with you, and today we’re celebrating potatoes! (National Potato Day is August 19th.)
Potatoes are probably the most versatile item in the produce department. Not only are there a wide variety of flavors, textures, and colors to choose from, there are countless of ways to prepare them! An excellent choice from our host Kathleen of Fearlessly Creative Mammas. Be sure to scroll past my recipe for a great selection of new and fun ways to prepare your next spud.
Chipotle Lime Roasted Potatoes
Ingredients:
- 1 1/2 lb fingerling potato medley, halved
- 4 tsp extra virgin olive oil, divided use
- 1-2 tbsp diced chipotle in adobo with sauce
- 1 tsp minced garlic (I used Gourmet Garden stir-in garlic paste)
- zest 1-2 limes
- juice 1-2 limes
- fresh cilantro (I used Gourmet Garden lightly dried cilantro)
Steps:
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
- Toss the potatoes in 2 tsp olive oil and season with salt. Place on a rimmed baking sheet and roast 30-35 minutes, or until fork tender.
- In a small bowl whisk together chipotle in adobo, 2 tsp olive oil, garlic, and the zest and juice of limes. Season to taste with salt.
- Toss roasted potatoes in as much dressing and fresh cilantro as desired. Serve warm.
