Rosemary-Kalonjii Fingerling Potatoes

Jyoti's Tasty Tip:

When autumn is just around the corner you’ll see these petite potatoes in the produce section of the supermarket. Alas! We don’t know what to do with them. Do I boil or roast them? It doesn’t matter what preparation you decide because it will taste good either way. Just try them and you’ll be amazed at the taste and the texture of these “cute” potatoes. Now you wonder what are these kalonjii seeds? Actually, it’s not only a spice but it's also medicinal too. Yes, you can get this in Talley’s.

Remember, it's all about the taste!   Chef Jyoti
