I made some very delicious roasted Yukon golds last week, seasoned with rosemary, kosher salt, and a good deal of pepper (both black and white). They were so good, I plan to make more, and soon...but I was wondering what other seasoning combinations people use? I thought of using dill and lemon pepper to go with fish...but would the dill burn? I've never used it on anything roasted at a high temp.
Thanks!

I roasted some new potatoes last night- tossed par-boiled (6 minutes) whole one's into a garlic and parsley infused olive oil then coated them in, "Tulocay's Napa Valley "Mediterranean Medley" Herb Rub and Marinade" which has dried- rosemary, garlic, onion, thyme, oregano, crushed red pepper, black pepper, sea salt and dried tomato (among other things)... roasted them in an oiled baking dish at 425° until they turned golden.
they were dang-diddly good! Kev

I just looked at their site, Kev. Their products and recipes look very good. Have you bought much from these people - any recommendations?

Mix dill with melted butter and brush that on. I don't think I'd use dill with lemon pepper, use plain black pepper... and some salt.

My favorite: parboil till not quite done, or zapped likewise, then cut into wedges, toss in olive oil with rosemary and thyme, put in hot oven. Salt and pepper immediately after removing from oven. My second favorite: as above, but omit the rosemary. -aem

the only thing i do differently is coat the potatoes in olive oil then season liberally with salt, pepper and chopped fresh rosemary. that's perfect to me!

Goose (or, failing that, duck) fat and garlic, i.e. the basic pommes sarladaises. Slice some potatoes, salt and pepper, and sauté them in goose fat with lots of garlic. You can also add some parsley and/or some freshly sautéed ceps/porcini a few minutes before the end of the cooking. Nothing's better.

I have some ideas on my recipe page, see URL below. BTW your rosemary idea sounds great, I will have to try it.

I use rosemary, s/p, olive oil, and a healthy splash (or three) of balsamic vinegar. I also toss in a bunch of peeled garlic cloves and a cut-up onion.
I also like Penzeys Northwoods seasoning for roasted potatoes. Lemon pepper is nice, too. Also, I sometimes mix potatoes with olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, s/p, and oregano.

IMHO roasted veggies already have a lot of flavor so I wouldn't do any more than what you did.

Potatoes seasoned with Old Bay go wonderfully with fish.

I can't think of any Penzey's spice mix that WOULDN'T go on roasted Yukon golds. I think of Italian herbs first and use that all the time but would try all the others too.

Dill might work, but I prefer garlic, fresh crushed, but garlic powder works well on potatoes too. So does paprika.

'Curry' spices are delcious with them! I just either mix some fresh ground curry spices (you can pre-tast them a little but not too much - cumin, black pepper, fenugreek, mustard seed, corriander seed cardamom, clove, cinnamon, chile etc.) together with salt, to my own tastes, or at a push, use salt and a ready blended mix - the tandoori mixes work well.
