This is it, my friends.  My contender for easiest – and most delicious! – side dish.  Ever.  Even for those of you that say cooking is too hard or you don’t feel comfortable in the kitchen.  Yes, I’m looking at you!  You’ve totally got these Roasted Potatoes with Figs and Prosciutto.  Keep reading as I’ll share with you my secret on how to get these potatoes in the oven in no time at all.

Buttery Yukon Gold potatoes are tossed in yogurt, figs, garlic and pepper before being showered with crisp sheets of prosciutto and ribbons of fresh basil.  If you can keep your hands out of these potatoes and they all make it from the baking sheet to the dining room table, well, let’s just say you have more willpower than I do!  A bit of sweet from the figs, a bit of heat from red pepper flakes, the crunch of prosciutto and the freshness from the basil – I mean these potatoes truly have it all.

And since I wish you nothing but the best of experiences in the kitchen, I’ll let you in on my secret that makes these potatoes so incredibly easy.  A jar of Smoky Fig & Roasted Garlic Spread from my friends at Robert Rothschild Farm.  Forget the guesswork of finding fresh figs and how to prepare them, it’s totally not necessary!  Chunks of sweet figs, bold roasted garlic and a subtle onion flavor are blended for a delicious, smoky flavored in this spread.  Perfectly paired with so many things but absolutely delicious when cloaking these potatoes.
