Roasted Baby Potatoes

By Harini
I love baby potatoes.That is a clean cut sentence which means I invariably buy them when ever I come across.Every time I make some grand plans in my mind to cook something new and innovative using baby potatoes but end up making normal spicy roast :). But when I bought them recently I was determined to try something new and searching for recipe.I found this recipe from Rak's kitchen very interesting as well as simple.I tried it out with some changes and I tasted so well.It was very very crispy and well cooked in spite of using very little oil.Also I was able to continue with my other tasks while these were getting done in the oven.Here is how I made them on the lines of Rak's recipe.I did not use cheese as mentioned in the recipe and omitted garlic too.This made a very nice combination with simple jeera rice and rotis.
