Baby potatoes roasted

I got baby potatoes from the market, it seems like freshly harvested lot,straight from the farmers. With a bit of black clay soil and smelling fresh. I have to wash the potatoes many times and gently used a knife to remove the soil. 

Boiled the potatoes by adding sufficient water to immerse the potatoes. Added a teaspoon of salt. Kept it for 3 whistles. Luckily the potatoes were just boiled and skin was intact.

I removed the potatoes and let it cool down, slowly and carefully removed the outer skin.

Proceeded to the kitchen to roast them.

These were the ingredients I used for this delicious roasted potatoes.
