Ingredients

  • 4 pounds sweet potatoes (about 3 or 4 large potatoes), peeled and cut into 1-inch pieces
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
  • 13 cup extra virgin olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons minced garlic
  • 1 cup chopped parsley leaves

Method

  • Bring a large pot of water to a boil, and salt it; add the potatoes, and cook until barely tender, about 5 minutes.
  • Do not overcook.
  • Drain the potatoes (or use the same water to blanch the green beans, below), then plunge them into a large bowl filled with ice water.
  • When cool, drain again.
  • In a roasting pan large enough to hold the potatoes in one layer, toss them with the olive oil and the garlic.
  • Heat the oven to 500 degrees.
  • Roast the potatoes, tossing them occasionally, until tender and lightly browned, 15 to 20 minutes.
  • Toss with parsley, salt and pepper, and serve.
