    Title: Tattooed Potatoes w/Rosemary
    Categories: Five, Potatoes, Herbs
    Yield: 5 Servings

    1/2 c Extra virgin olive oil
    1 ts Salt
    1/2 ts Fresh cracked pepper
    6 sm Fresh rosemary springs
    +=OR=+
    6 Italian parsley leaves
    3 lg Russet potatoes; unpeeled,
    - scrubbed, halved

    I had these potatoes for Christmas dinner at the home of
    my friend Lindita. She had found a similar recipe in
    Gourmet magazine that called for butter in place of the
    olive oil and a sprig of Italian parsley in place of the
    rosemary. You can use either or both of the herbs, but the
    olive oil makes these potatoes remarkable.

    Set the oven @ 400ºF/205ºC.

    Pour the olive oil into a med-size glass baking dish and
    add the salt & pepper. Stir to combine. Press a rosemary
    sprig or parsley leaf on the cut side of each potato half
    and place cut side down in the oil.

    Bake until the potatoes are nicely browned, 40 to 45 min.
    While the potatoes are cooking, using a spatula, gently
    move them every now and then to keep them from sticking.
    When they are ready, remove from the pan, turning them
    flat-side up and carefully leaving the pressed herb in
    place. Arrange on a platter and serve immediately.

    NOTE: A glass dish works well in this case because you can
    check for doneness by carefully holding the dish overhead
    and looking to see if the potatoes are browned.

    When you do this, be careful not to spill the hot oil. A
    metal pan will do, too, but testing for doneness will not
    be as easy.

    Serves 4 to 6
