Roasted Yukon Gold Potatoes and Sweet Potatoes

Can’t decide whether to serve sweet potatoes or Yukon gold potatoes? You don’t have to choose if you make this roasted Yukon gold potatoes and sweet potatoes recipe!

Necessity is the mother of invention. When I was getting ready to make dinner last week, I looked in the potato bins and discovered I only had one large sweet potato and several small Yukon gold potatoes. I didn’t have enough of either type of potato to make a side dish for my family. Instead of skipping the potato dish I was planning on serving, I decided to roast the sweet potato and gold potatoes together, and a new family favorite was born.

My family enjoyed the savory potato side dish so much, that I created a formal recipe for it. But if you don’t have the exact ingredients, do what I did and improvise. You can substitute red potatoes or russet potatoes. If you don’t have fresh garlic to mince, replace the minced garlic with 2 teaspoons of garlic powder. Sometimes the best recipes are made while making do with what you have on hand!
