(about 1/2 tsp), garlic, thyme and butter buds in a bowl potatoes in a bowl. Add potatoes and toss to coat. Transfer potatoes to the foil-lined pan. Seal the foil. Bake potatoes for 20 minutes. Open the package and bake another 15 minutes. Extend baking time to suit your taste for caramelized potato.

Prepare dressing: combine the ingredients listed in a serving bowl. Add the hot potatoes with pan juices (optional) and toss to coat evenly.

Adjust the salt and pepper. Add some of the remaining lemon zest to taste.

Cuisine: "South American"

NOTES : Sweet-sour tang sets off the caramelized potatoes and hint of herb. Serve with a black bean and rice casserole or with Lentils and Rice and Spicy Sausage (meat or vegetarian alternative) for complete protein meal.

This is my adaptation of a recipe from burt wolfs menu book. I roasted instead of fried the potatoes. Its roasted sweet and russet potatoes with thyme and garlic and fig-balsamic vinegar and dates .... Boy was that good and the flavor complemented the lentil and rice dish.
