Caramelized Roasted Red Potatoes with Lemongrass, Garlic & Cilantro are crispy on the outside and creamy on the inside. They're an easy yet impressive side dish to serve family or guests.
Roasted Red Potatoes with Lemongrass, Garlic & Cilantro may be one of the very favorite potato side dishes I've ever made. I appreciate how easy these potatoes are to throw together, and I especially love that the oven does most of the work turning them all caramelized and crunchy on the outside and creamy and soft on the inside.
Roasted Red Potatoes with Lemongrass, Garlic & Cilantro makes a perfect side dish for just about any protein. Since we love lamb, the light lemon and citrus flavor from the cilantro and lemongrass paste would pair perfectly with this recipe for Rolled Greek Meatloaf with Lemon, Feta & Oregano. Or, how about substituting these roasted red potatoes for French fries and serving them alongside this Lamb & Feta Burger with Tzatziki Sauce. And, if you're willing to go really crazy, why not serve these roasted red potatoes beside this Family Favorite Egg Sandwich Breakfast Casserole and serve them for a Sunday morning brunch? Have I made you hungry yet? I sure do hope so 🙂

If you're not a cilantro lover, never fear. You can always substitute Gourmet Garden's basil paste for the cilantro paste, or leave it out altogether. Or, should you decide that lemongrass isn't your thing, what about a squirt or two of Gourmet Garden's ginger paste in with the potatoes before roasting? I think I'll try that next time for sure because I like the sound of roasted potatoes with ginger. I think they would be fabulous!
