Pan-Roasted Baby Potatoes Recipe
To cook baby potatoes, I prefer the pressure cooking method. The most important thing to remember here is that do not to let the potatoes sit in water. Fill the cooker with the required water and keep potatoes in another vessel that fits in the cooker. This way they end up steaming and not boiling, thereby not turning soggy.
Potatoes, garlic, and herbs are a most delicious combination. Add to that the toasty flavor and texture of sesame seeds, and it turns even more irresistible. No dish is complete with a touch of sour flavor, for which I have added sumac. Feel free to add a squeeze of lemon or lime juice instead.
If you have a mix of fresh herbs, then use that by all means. Do remember that you need nearly 3 times the quantity of fresh herbs (3 tbsp fresh rosemary=1 tbsp dried rosemary) for as much flavor.

To begin with, in this easy recipe, wash the baby potatoes under running water. Then drain the excess water.
