Heart shaped herb roasted potatoes that are perfect for Valentine’s Day dinner!
With Valentine’s Day soon approaching, love is in the air, and all I can think of is Valentine’s day recipes! I seriously love food when it’s all decorated and pretty for Valentine’s day!
The recipe that I’m sharing with you today is roasted herb potatoes, it’s very easy to make, and tastes insanely good. Plus, who doesn’t love potatoes? I love potatoes in all forms! Mashed, steamed, french fries, grilled, roasted, raw, with skin, and without the skin!
These potatoes are marinated in olive oil, paprika, salt, and rosemary leaves for about 5 minutes, and then roasted in the oven. Easy!
I do like to par-cook my potatoes before roasting them, as it does make things easier and quicker. Plus it does help create a lovely crispy shell around the potatoes. Now imagine how delicious those are!
You can of course just cut the potatoes into cubes, but I think that these heart shaped roasted potatoes are perfect for Valentine’s dinner. Of course they will still taste the same, so it’s up to you on what you’re going to make.
Now you may wonder how did I manage to cut out all of these potatoes into heart shapes? I used a cookie cutter!
Roasted Heart Potatoes
Ingredients
- 4 medium potatoes
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tsp salt
- 1 tsp ground paprika
- 2 tsp rosemary leaves
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 180c.
- Brush your baking tray with olive oil.
- Wash and peel your potatoes, then either cut out using a cookie cutter (by making slices using a knife, and then cutting out hearts using a cookie cutter) or cut into cubes using a knife. Use scraps to roast as well, or you can fry them, or boil them to make mashed potatoes.
- Take a small pot, and fill it with water. Bring to boil and add 1 tsp salt. Reduce heat and simmer potatoes for about 3 minutes.
- To marinate potatoes, combine olive oil with salt, paprika, and rosemary leaves. Pour over potatoes and let it marinate for about 5 minutes.
- Spread potatoes over baking tray and roast for about 15 minutes, then open the oven and turn the potatoes to the other side. Roast for 10 more minutes or until golden brown.

January 31, 2016 at 02:21Love these, such a cute idea. We add paprika to everything, living with a Hungarian it’s hard not to become slightly obsessed with it! I have to say potatoes are my favourite food and I’m definitely going to try these out!
