You like potato and I like potahto,
You like tomato and I like tomahto,
Potato, potahto, tomato, tomahto,
Let's just call the whole thing delish!
Alright, alright, I'll keep my day job. I know I can't sing for squat, but my taste buds sure struck a fine cord when they tasted this dish. Tender, buttery new potatoes and sweet little red tomatoes lightly salted and roasted - the perfect side to just about anything: fish, poultry, a big fat juicy steak, or just a simple tossed green salad.
Roasted Potatoes and Tomatoes
Preheat oven to 475 degrees F
Rub potatoes with softened butter or olive oil (or a bit of both! Restaurants do it, so can we!),
Toss in a bowl with salt and fresh cracked pepper to thoroughly coat,
Place potatoes in a roasting pan or on a cookie sheet and roast for about 30 minutes or until softened, turning frequently to brown all sides,
Add tomatoes about 15 minutes prior to pulling the entire dish out of the oven.

Looks so devine! Will try it tomorrow night with the last of our beautiful little cherry tomatoes from our summer garden. Thanks, as always, for your lovely pictures and recipes.

i love roasted potatoes. their flavor is so much more complex than just a regular baked potato. i like how you added tomatoes. they give it a nice pop of color.
