      Title: Tattooed Potatoes w/Rosemary
 Categories: Five, Potatoes, Herbs
      Yield: 5 Servings
 
    1/2 c  Extra virgin olive oil
      1 ts Salt
    1/2 ts Fresh cracked pepper
      6 sm Fresh rosemary springs
           +=OR=+
      6    Italian parsley leaves
      3 lg Russet potatoes; unpeeled,
           - scrubbed, halved
 
  I had these potatoes for Christmas dinner at the home of
  my friend Lindita. She had found a similar recipe in
  Gourmet magazine that called for butter in place of the
  olive oil and a sprig of Italian parsley in place of the
  rosemary. You can use either or both of the herbs, but the
  olive oil makes these potatoes remarkable.
  
  Preheat the oven to 400ºF/205ºC.
  
  Pour the olive oil into a med-size glass baking dish and
  add the salt & pepper. Stir to combine. Press a rosemary
  sprig or parsley leaf on the cut side of each potato half
  and place cut side down in the oil.
  
  Bake until the potatoes are nicely browned, 40 to 45 min.
  While the potatoes are cooking, using a spatula, gently
  move them every now and then to keep them from sticking.
  When they are ready, remove from the pan, turning them
  flat-side up and carefully leaving the pressed herb in
  place. Arrange on a platter and serve immediately.
  
  NOTE: A glass dish works well in this case because you can
  check for doneness by carefully holding the dish overhead
  and looking to see if the potatoes are browned.
  
  When you do this, be careful not to spill the hot oil. A
  metal pan will do, too, but testing for doneness will not
  be as easy.
  
  Serves 4 to 6
