Rosemary Potatoes

These easy to make Rosemary Potatoes go well with Lamb recipe or any other meat and chicken recipe. Rosemary is native to the Mediterranean region and compliments oily foods such as fish or lamb. As far as Italian cuisine is concerned, lamb is rarely made without using rosemary. This aromatic herb can also be used to flavour oils, vinegars and vegetables. Most of all, rosemary is great with potatoes and sweet potatos.
