Baked Baby Potatoes

Baked or roasted baby potatoes have a soft and fluffy interior, with a perfectly crisp exterior and with lots of flavour from the fresh spices. This dish pairs well with any dish or can be a perfect starter for parties. Unlike the deep-fried dishes, this one is a healthy way to enjoy. We can cook this using extra light olive oil which is healthy. And the seasoning mix has an awesome flavour. One of a great starter we all love as a family. Try it and for sure, your whole family will love it!
