Cover your Rosemary and make Potatoes on Rosemary Skewers

​Photo Credit: Katherine Brooks PhotographyIt's gonna be freezing cold and it's a great time to give your rosemary bush a little attention. Rosemary bushes can handle temps that drop below freezing but sometimes they will not survive when temps drop below the teens. You can trim a few stalks as you cover it with a sheet while the polar vortex is with us! This is a great appetizer or side dish that can go with your fancy holiday meal.

2 pounds small fresh potatoes
1 Tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
1 teaspoon salt
10-15 (4 inch long) sturdy rosemary stalks


Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Toss potatoes with olive oil and salt on a sheet pan. Roast Potatoes 30-35 minutes until they are tender. Let potatoes cool for a few minutes, then use a metal skewer or chopstick to put a hole all the way through the center of each potato. String the potatoes on the rosemary skewers. Serve warm or at room temperature as an appetizer,
