Roasted Red & Sweet Potatoes
ZZZZZzzzzzZZZZ

ZZZZzzzZZZZzzz
I am SO tired, haha! I really need to get a good nights sleep after the weekend that I had. For some reason I feel like I just can’t get caught up. Do you ever experience that? Whew, I am beat! I could curl up with a big comfy blanket and my bunny and be all set for about 10 hours, hehe.
Anyways, I promised a recipe in my last post for some roasted potatoes. Well…here it is. Let me tell you, I really feel like roasted vegetables can be the best addition to just about any meal that you have. Maybe not a pasta meal, but still…burgers? Yes! Chicken? Yeup! Steak? ¡Sí! Grilling? Heck yes!
They are easy and healthy and just plain good, so I wanted to share the recipe with you separately from the chicken and artichoke meal I just posted. Wanted to make sure each item got it’s spotlight 😉
Ingredients for Potatoes:
- 3-4 red potatoes
- 1-2 sweet potatoes
- 1 shallot
- 5 cloves garlic
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- Fresh thyme, use as much or little as you would like
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon pepper
- 1/4 teaspoon seasoning salt
Preheat oven 375°
I have been on SUCH a thyme kick lately. I am sure most of you have seen it. I made thyme mayo for my panini sandwiches not to long ago. I used it in the chicken and artichoke dish and now in the potatoes. I just love the taste AND smell.
Rough chop all your potatoes, they don’t need to be super pretty. Mince your shallot. Cut your garlic into manageable wedges. I personally could just roast garlic, spread that on bread and eat it haha, I know awful…but I adore garlic.
In a glass pan place all your veggies and garlic. Sprinkle with salt, pepper, seasoning salt, and thyme. Drizzle the olive oil on top and toss together to make sure that each potato is covered.
Place in the oven and cook for about 35-45 minutes. Make sure you stir them quite often so that nothing sticks and that all the potatoes cook evenly and are coated with the spices.
Then, you serve on the side of your meal, like chicken stuffed with artichoke and feta :-)…YUM!

What a great idea to roast red potatoes and sweet potatoes together. It looks sooo flavorful and sooo good. 🙂

Simple and delicious. We’ve been using a lot of thyme lately too. Great minds think alike!
RavieNomNoms

Red and sweet potatoes mixed…how yummy. I have room on my plate for this. 🙂
RavieNomNoms
Yes I wouldn’t have thought to mix them, but for some reason I just did and it worked out perfectly

This looks like a super yummy side and a great compromise for my boyfriend and I.
RavieNomNoms
It is a great side dish and it is super good for you too!
Tiffany Rosenberger
I’m in the sane boat with you. Just can’t catch up on sleep at all! On the other hand I love, love, love how you combined two different kinds of potatoes.
RavieNomNoms
I hope you catch up on sleep soon Tiffany! and thank you very much!
Jill Colonna

I often roast sweet and white potatoes together, but I have never included the fresh herbs. They look delicious that way. I can just imagine the great flavor.
RavieNomNoms
Oh man, next time you do it throw in the herbs! I have no doubt you will love it Kristen!

What a good idea to roast the red and sweet potatoes! So colorful and it looks sooo good! Chicken stuffed with artichoke and feta?? I wish we lived in the same neighborhood!!!
RavieNomNoms
I know, I love love love the colors they are just plain fabulous! 🙂

This sounds like a great accompaniment, like you said, for just about anything! Love the combo of red and sweet potato. It’s a little bit of a switch up from the norm–and I like that a lot.
RavieNomNoms
Thanks Marisa! It really does go with just about anything in my opinion!

I’m with you on the tired, though I don’t think I’m quite as tired as you and Liv. She has big black circles under her eyes, and after spending 2 hours for dance viewing week (I get to sit there for two looonnng hours!) I’m not surprised! She worked so hard! You guys are amazing.
In any case… these potatoes. I could eat them every single day if they didn’t do a number on my waistline! I find potatoes to be the complete comfort food and with the thyme they would be just perfect
RavieNomNoms
Aw poor Liv, I know how she feels the poor thing…I hope she gets some rest soon so that her black circles go away. 🙁 Long hours for those Mom’s too, my mom was the same way when I was younger..you guys are the best! I totally know what you mean Kim! I would eat potatoes everyday if I could!

I absolutely love the combination of flavors here. I’m always looking for new side dishes – this one fits the bill!!
RavieNomNoms
Thanks Brandie!

I L-O-V-E roasted veggies… and I think they can even be a great side with (or on) pasta! These look great!
RavieNomNoms
I love them too, I eat them constantly!
