The holiday season will be here soon and these German Style Roasted Potatoes are absolutely a recipe you must try. These potatoes are a staple here in Germany during the Christmas Markets (Christkindlmarkt). As you can see in the picture below, these potatoes are traditionally cooked in a large wok type skillet, with lots of olive oil, garlic, herbs and colorful veggies. Trust me, just the aroma of the herbs will make you drool.
I recently relished these potatoes at a food stall at a local fest. By far the best potatoes I ever had so far. I came back home and tried the recipe a couple times and and I have decided to share this recipe with you to try it yourself. Let me know what do you think of these potatoes when you try them. BTW if you are in the Chicago area and you want to experience an American-German Christmas Market, you can explore it here.
Roasted Potatoes Recipe
Making these roasted potatoes is super easy. It literally involves just three steps. Cook potatoes. Saute veggies. Season them. You can either cook either the traditional way in a skillet or the quicker way in your Instant Pot. You will need lots of olive oil for this recipe. I mean generous amounts. Small whole skinned potatoes are best for this recipe. You can used dried of fresh herbs, whatever is readily available and feel free to get creative. I also used some crushed pepper. To add some color, red onions, green and red peppers go best. They also enhance the flavors. Garlic adds a lot of flavors and aroma too.
