Baked Baby Reds

This is a versatile side dish that goes very well with savory winter dishes and can be cooked in the oven.  But it also makes a great summer side by using a grilling basket (we highly recommend this Weber version) to cook these potatoes up on the grill!

In general, potatoes don't freeze well (although blanching first can help).  But, they can last up to 30 days in a cool, dry, and dark location, so you can always keep a bag of baby reds on hand.

Ingredients

• 1 lb baby reds, washed and quartered
• 2 T olive oil
• 1 T Onion Onion
• 1 T Garlic Garlic
• 1 tsp Seasoned Salt

To Serve

• Toss all ingredients together in a bowl.
• Oven Method: Preheat oven to 350 degrees.  Arrange potatoes in single layer on a brimmed baking sheet.  Bake for 30 minutes, until tender when tested with a fork.
• Grill Method:  Place potatoes in grill basket on pre-heated grill.  Cook approximately 30 minutes, tossing frequently.  Potatoes are done when tender.

We tend to post quite a few make-ahead main dishes around here.  But, let's not forget about the importance of make-ahead sides.  Often, preparing a healthy side dish can be just as time-consuming as making a main dish from scratch.  Here is a great side dish that you can make ahead.  Its versatility makes it a match for your favorite summer main dishes.  Try pairing this dish with our Agave Citrus Kebab Medley.  Simply use this quinoa as a bed for the kebab meat and veggies, and you have what may be the perfect summertime meal!  I guarantee both family and guests will be impressed.
