What I’m listening to: Give us Rest, David Crowder Band
I came home to a pantry full of pretty little red potatoes, which is a clear indication that someone else had been doing all the shopping. But really, who can turn down a beautifully roasted, ever-so-slightly caramelized potato? Tender here… crunchy there. Savory side dish bliss. Pair this colorful side with a steak or a roasted chicken and your table – and your tummy – will be happy.
