Roasted potatoes are incredibly versatile. Serve them hot alongside any protein, cold in a green garden salad, or, as always, at room temperature as part of a BBQ spread. These beauties are a little spicy (from the Dijon), a little tangy (from the vinegar), have a bit of earthiness (from the roasted garlic and poppy seeds), and a fresh green pop from the dill. They’re particularly great with baked or grilled chicken thighs. Make one day in advance; store in an airtight container, in the refrigerator. Bring to room temperature and toss with the dill just before serving.
Ingredients
- 1½ pounds small red potatoes, halved
- 4 garlic cloves, skin on
- 2 tablespoons olive oil

How to Make It
