Hi, really fantastic combo. Thanks for sharing.
this looks lovely, just wanna know if u used the fresh rosemary leaves or the dry one..coz i have lots of dried one ...
Thank you all, for your nice comments.
Bhags; I prefer fresh rosemary, but I guess dry would work too. You can experiment using other herbs too, I am going to try mint, and oregano next time (not together!)
Fresh Rosemary makes everything smell so good.I made Focaccia with that, loved it.Smashed aloo are yum!!
That sounds really smashing. Yum Yum!
I've never thought about just smashing a potato but this sounds like a tasty and easy side dish. Thanks.
