This takes a bit of extra effort... but when it comes to spuds, extra effort is always worth it! Potatoes are too delish to not be pampered every now and then :)

Ingredients

  • 3/4 pound fingerling potatoes
  • 2 stalks broccoli
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons salt
  • 1 teaspoon sugar
  • 3 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 1 teaspoon garlic
  • 1/4 teaspoon pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon ginger powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon rosemary, dried
  • 1 teaspoon parsley, dried
  • 1/4 cup mozzarella cheese
  • - for garnish: dried and crushed parsley, shredded cheese, and bacon (i used bacos)

How To Make the roasted potato experience

  • Step 1
    Preheat oven to 350. Wash potatoes and chop tops off broccoli.
  • Step 2
    Boil pot of water, salted with 1 tsp salt, and another pot of water, with sugar.
  • Step 3
    Drop potatoes into salted water pot; boil for 6 - 7 minutes. Simultaneously, boil your broccoli with the sugar in separate pot, for about 5 minutes.
  • Step 4
    Remove broccoli with slotted spoon, and pour out broccoli water, reserving about 1/4 cup broccoli water in that pot.
  • Step 5
    Into empty broccoli pot, add butter, rest of the salt, garlic, onion powder, rosemary and ginger. Simmer on low heat until butter is melted.
  • Step 6
    Drain out potatoes and carefully cut them into halves (I kept some of the smaller ones in tact).
  • Step 7
    Pour potatoes in baking pan (rough them up a little with a spoon...the extra rough edges on the potatoes will make them nice and crispy in the oven).
  • Step 8
    And broccoli to baking dish. Pour in butter mixture and stir. Sprinkle top with parsley and cheese. Roast in oven, uncovered, for about 30 minutes.
  • Step 9
    After 25 minutes, remove from oven, and drain off most of the buttery liquid (reserve liquid). Return to oven and raise temp to 400. Roast uncovered for 40 more minutes.
  • Step 10
    Top served potatoes with reserved butter, cheese, parsley and bacos. Enjoy!
