How to roast baby potato
I used medley baby potatoes to make this roast. So you can see purple and golden baby potatoes. Microwave potatoes or cook for 10 minutes in boiling water. Then marinate with spices for at least 10 minutes before roasting in a pan. You can add or avoid onions but I recommend adding it as the caramelized onions give a bit of sweetness to the dish.
