Ingredients
In this adaptation, we transform the traditional Serbian Kuvana krtola into a New England favorite by roasting the potatoes instead of boiling them. This cooking technique enhances the natural flavors of the potatoes and creates a crispy texture. Additionally, we incorporate New England's love for herbs by seasoning the potatoes with a blend of aromatic herbs commonly used in the region. We alse have the original recipe for Kuvana krtola, so you can check it out.

Treat your ingredients with care...
- Potatoes — Make sure to cut the potatoes into bite-sized cubes to ensure even cooking. Leaving the skin on adds extra texture and nutrients to the dish.
- Olive oil — Use a good quality olive oil for the best flavor and to help the potatoes crisp up in the oven.
- Fresh herbs — Opt for fresh rosemary and thyme to infuse the potatoes with their aromatic flavors. If fresh herbs are not available, you can use dried herbs, but reduce the quantity by half.
Tips & Tricks
- For extra crispiness, flip the potatoes halfway through the cooking time.
- Add a sprinkle of grated Parmesan cheese on top of the potatoes before roasting for a cheesy twist.
- Serve the roasted potatoes with a side of tangy aioli or creamy sour cream for dipping.
- Experiment with different herbs and spices to customize the flavor profile of the dish.
- Leftover roasted potatoes can be reheated in the oven or enjoyed cold in salads.

Serve the New England Style Roasted Potatoes as a side dish alongside grilled meats, roasted chicken, or seafood. They also make a delicious addition to brunch menus or as a standalone vegetarian option.
