Caesar Tossed Roasted Herb Potatoes is a recipe I created after learning to make the most delicious caesar dressing recipe given to me from my friend Laurie who is the owner of the organic cafe Basimo Beach Café. located in Belair Beach Florida. The dressing is so hard to stop eating that I just had to try it on something other than salad.
Though rosemary and garlic are a delightful combination of flavors for roasted potatoes, feel free to use any combination of herbs and spices that appeal to your palate. Parsley, thyme, basil, dill and paprika combined with Himalayan sea salt pair perfectly with roasted potatoes. It's the caesar dressing the creates the real magic in this dish. Finally, sprinkling the tops with fresh cilantro adds an extra dusting of flavor that enhances the dish quite nicely.
With the holidays just around the corner this recipe is at the top of my list for sides to serve at my Thanksgiving and Christmas dinner table. This dish would be a delightful side to serve with Israeli Lamb Kabobs, Lemon Butter Chicken, Lemon Garlic Salmon or your favorite meal. Keep this recipe handy because there's a good chance your guests may be asking you for a copy. It's really that good! Enjoy.
