Ingredients
- 4pounds sweet potatoes (about 3 or 4 large potatoes), peeled and cut into 1-inch pieces
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
- ⅓cup extra virgin olive oil
- 2tablespoons minced garlic
- 1cup chopped parsley leaves
Preparation
- Step 1
Bring a large pot of water to a boil, and salt it; add the potatoes, and cook until barely tender, about 5 minutes. Do not overcook.
- Step 2
Drain the potatoes (or use the same water to blanch the green beans, below), then plunge them into a large bowl filled with ice water. When cool, drain again. In a roasting pan large enough to hold the potatoes in one layer, toss them with the olive oil and the garlic.
- Step 3
Heat the oven to 500 degrees. Roast the potatoes, tossing them occasionally, until tender and lightly browned, 15 to 20 minutes. Toss with parsley, salt and pepper, and serve.
