Origin Roasted New Red Potatoes
Roasted potatoes are a classic dish found in many cultures around the world. The use of new red potatoes, with their thin skin and waxy texture, is popular in Western cooking, especially in Europe and North America. This dish is often served as a side with meats, fish, or as part of a vegetable medley. The combination of herbs and garlic elevates the flavor, making it a staple for casual dinners and holiday meals.
