Roasted Potato Halves With Herb Sprigs image

Sounds better in French: Pommes de Terres Roties aux Herbes Variees. These are very pretty potatoes--and tasty too. Simple and elegant. From Georgeanne Brennan's "Savoring France."

Time 50m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 4

4 -5 baking potatoes, unpeeled, scrubbed and halved lengthwise
3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
8 -10 sprigs fresh herbs, any combination of thyme, sage, tarragon, rosemary, etc
2 teaspoons coarse salt

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 375F (190C).
  • Place the halved potatoes in a bowl and pour the oil over them. Toss in the oil and/or rub them with your hands to insure that each is coated with oil.
  • Arrange the potatoes cut side up on a baking sheet.
  • Astuce (Hint): If your potato half keeps rolling over, slice a tiny sliver off the uncut side, giving it a flat surface on which to rest.
  • Press an herb sprig on to each potato half; sprinkle them with salt.
  • Bake until a golden crust has formed on the cut surface and the potato half is tender through, about 45 minutes.
  • Serve, cut side up and nice and hot.
