NEAPOLITAN BABY POTATOES, grandma’s recipe cooked in a pan with rosemary, easy to prepare, tasty side dish perfect for meat or fish.
The Neapolitan baby potatoes in a pan are a dish that embodies all the warmth and tradition of Neapolitan cuisine. This dish, loved by young and old, is a perfect example of how simple ingredients can turn into a delight for the palate.
The baby potatoes, small and tender, are carefully washed and left with the skin, which is rich in flavor and nutrients. Cut in half or quarters, depending on their size, they are then immersed in a pan with extra virgin olive oil, possibly squeezed from the olives of the Neapolitan countryside.
Towards the end of cooking, grandma adds a handful of fresh rosemary, whole sprigs, or chopped, which gives a note of freshness and color to the dish. The potatoes are ready when tender inside but still slightly crispy on the outside, with all the flavor concentrated from slow and loving cooking.
Imagine a kitchen flooded with the scents of southern Italy, with the aroma of Mediterranean herbs mingling with that of potatoes slowly cooking in the pan.
