Ingredients

The following ingredients have 4 Servings
  • 1 garlic clove, cut in half
  • 1 1/2 pounds mixed white, yellow, purple, red and sweet potatoes (Yukon golds, fingerlings, red potatoes etc.), peeled if desired and cut in 1-inch pieces (I peel sweet potatoes but not potatoes with smooth skins.)
  • Salt and freshly ground pepper
  • 2 teaspoons chopped fresh sage
  • 3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 ounce Parmesan, grated (1/4 cup) (optional)

Instruction

  • Preheat the oven to 425 degrees. Rub a 2- or 3-quart baking dish or gratin with the cut side of the garlic and then brush with olive oil. Alternatively, line a sheet pan with parchment and omit the garlic. Place the potatoes in a large bowl. Season to taste with salt and pepper, add the sage and 2 tablespoons of the olive oil and toss again. Arrange in the baking dish or on the baking sheet.
  • Bake 40 minutes, stirring every 10 minutes. If you are using a baking dish the some of the potatoes might stick, but just coax them away from the dish with your spoon.
  • Add the remaining oil and the cheese if using, stir together and bake another 10 minutes, until the potatoes are crispy on the edges. Serve hot or warm.
