This Roasted Potatoes with Balsamic and Herbs recipe has been a staple at the Loon/Longwell house for many years. I have played around with the recipe, and always go back to this version.
The shallots, balsamic and herbs give such a deep, rich flavor.
The ingredients go together just perfectly!
I like to use a combo of red potatoes and Yukon gold. I peel the Yukons, but not the red ones, it gives the dish a nice variation of color.
This Roasted Potatoes with Balsamic and Herbs is great any time of the year, but they are really perfect for a holiday feast.
Yum!

Looks like a nice recipe – personally I prefer my roasted potatoes a little crispier which you get from cooking them a little differently – Here’s how I like to do it, http://www.timedeating.co.uk/secret-roast-potatoes
