Have you ever been asked by a hostess to just “bring a side!”
Bring a side.
Should be easy right?
Except usually it involves a vegetable or two, and the amount of people that either hate broccoli or green beans or cauliflower is in the hundreds of thousands.
But everyone loves potatoes.
And this is a great roasted potato dish that you can prep up until you add the last 5 minutes of toppings. When you get to your destination, pop it in the oven for the last 5, add the Parmesan and parsley and serve it all up hot and crispy. It’s a hit!
