Remove from oven and allow to cool to a ‘warm’ about 5 minutes(you need them warm).  Place in a bowl, dash with remaining salt and a small spritz of pepper, and fresh lemon. The trick to the lemon is halving it, and using tines of fork to press against the inner citrus to release the juice. Do not saturate, mix well and the Butter Baby Potatoes will absorb the lemon. Add in the Roasted Red Peppers & serve warm.

The bag  you see is how the Butter Babies™ potatoes are packaged, and you can tell from the parcel just how special these are.  The Butter Babies™ are from Frieda’s.

What Should I serve these with?

Upon seeing the bag my mind immediately began thinking about side dishes with this little butter baby spud for famous pork roasts and ribs. Butter Babies™  are a very formidable potato that can be roasted, smashed, mashed, scalloped and baked, no matter how you cook them they are going to be ‘butterlicious!’

Where do you find Frieda’s Butter Babies™ Potatoes? Butter Babies™?  In my case, in the good old burgh they are available at Giant Eagle and Market District, but if you want to find out if you have them in a store near you, just use this butter baby locator!  Find Me Butter Babies™.   Let me tell you I can not believe Pittsburgh is one of the markets that has it available, we are usually the last for any good thing, lol!

Roasted Butter Babies™ with Roasted Peppers can be made a few different ways, but I will let you determine how much effort to put into the recipe. You can buy jarred roasted red pepper strips, and that is quite an easy way to complete this recipe, or you can roast your own red peppers if you like doing that.  My suggestion on peppers is to utilize a red pepper, orange or yellow as they offer the sweetest flavor when roasted which will complete this recipe.  If you are using jarred roasted peppers, make sure to allow your pepper strips to drain the strips in a colander before overly-saturating the potatoes.

The Meyer Lemons offer a good bit of juice and a little goes a long way. Meyer Lemons are SWEET not sour so they accent the food.  Don’t over-salt the potatoes, a light hand will make these taste just right and the coarse crush setting is best as find will just not work as well. Looking to add a little extra into this recipe? A little bit of Gorgonzola will send this over the top alongside toasted Pine nuts!

These are a very quick and easy dish to make, and will look good upon any holiday table.  Frieda’s Butter Babies™ Potatoes are a delicacy and the taste will offer your taste buds something unlike they have tasted before! Lavishly live food out loud, and create this fabulous recipe of Roasted Butter Babies™ with Roasted Peppers!
