Ingredients:
1 small container of red potatoes, washed and quartered
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 garlic scapes, chopped
Salt and pepper, to taste
1 tablespoon white truffle oil
1 teaspoon each of chopped fresh thyme leaves, sage leaves, and rosemary
Preheat your oven to 450 degrees. Wash your red potatoes thoroughly, but gently. (The skin of red potatoes is fragile). I used a little brush to lightly buff off the dirt under warm running water.

Cut the potatoes into wedges: quarters for the larger potatoes, and halves for the smaller potatoes, and arrange on a cookie sheet.
Drizzle olive oil over the potatoes and sprinkle with garlic scapes, salt and pepper.
Bake at 450 degrees for 30 minutes or until the potatoes are brown and slightly wrinkled.
While the potatoes are cooking, chop your thyme, sage, and rosemary. Combine.
Remove the potatoes from the oven, drizzle with truffle oil, and sprinkle with the herb mixture.
This was fantastic. I honestly couldn’t stop eating the potatoes. Truffle oil is such a great ingredient, although it is a bit of a splurge. Truffle oil is usually added at the end of a dish, the oil is too delicate to be subjected to high heat. A little bit of truffle oil goes a long way though so do not overpour! When I make this recipe in the future, I plan on using normal minced garlic (2-3 cloves), the garlic scapes were quite burnt from the oven so I didn’t get any of the garlic taste from them. Boo.
These potatoes look awesome! I have never tried truffle oil before, I like I need to make the investment!
I have some Truffle Oil I have been trying to figure out how to use. I think I’ve now found one way! Thanks for sharing. Going to buzz you now 😀
I love the earthy aroma of truffle oil. An idea for stretching your truffle oil a little is mixing in with a little olive oil or melted butter and then drizzle that way all you potatoes get a touch of the truffle, you are so right a little does go a long way
Wow, earthy, sage rosemary flavor potatoes? . . . what a beautiful dish. Love to have some!
I keep seeing truffle oil at Homegoods but I don’t buy it because I am unsure what to do with it. But this recipe looks so great, I have to go snatch some up!
Cannot wait to try these!!
