RAINBOW POTATO ROAST



Rainbow Potato Roast image

Each different type of potato here has its own distinctive flavor and texture as well as color. Some will roast more quickly than others but it doesn't matter to me if certain pieces in the mix become very soft. My favorite mix here consists of sweet potato, purple potatoes, fingerlings, Yukon golds and red bliss.

Time 1h

Yield Serves 4

Number Of Ingredients 6

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)

Steps:

  • 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.

Tips:

  • Use fresh vegetables: Fresh vegetables will give your casserole the best flavor and texture. If you can, buy your vegetables from a local farmer's market or organic grocery store.
  • Don't overcook the vegetables: Overcooked vegetables will become mushy and lose their flavor. Cook them just until they are tender-crisp.
  • Use a variety of colors: The more colors you use, the more visually appealing your casserole will be. Aim for a mix of bright and dark colors.
  • Don't be afraid to experiment: There are endless possibilities when it comes to rainbow casseroles. Feel free to add your own favorite ingredients or substitute different vegetables.
  • Make it ahead of time: Rainbow casseroles can be made ahead of time and reheated when you're ready to serve them. This makes them a great option for busy weeknights.

Conclusion:

Rainbow casseroles are a delicious and easy way to get your daily dose of fruits and vegetables. They're also a great way to use up leftover vegetables. With a little planning, you can create a rainbow casserole that's both beautiful and delicious. So next time you're looking for a healthy and satisfying meal, give rainbow casserole a try.
