This interpretation of the Italian recipe 'Patate al Rosmarino', leaves the potatoes filled with flavor and melting in the mouth. |
| Wine and Beverage Pairing |

Falanghina or Pinot Grigio if you like white wines. Barbera, Dolcetto, or Chianti, if you like red. Lambrusco, the naturally frothy red from the Italian region of Emilia Romagna offers an excellent pairings. |
