Herb-al Remedies

Sage


Easy to grow and a wonderful remedy to the sometimes bland potato. This recipie was found in the Cooking Light, June 2004 issue. I was probably inspired on a cold winter day....knowing I had frozen leaves of sage last fall.



Recipe: Oven Fries with Crisp Sage Leaves
Cut some potatoes lengthwise into slices, place in a bowl and drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle with salt. Bake at 400 degrees in a single layer until golden brown on the bottom, about 40 minutes. Remove from oven. Coat sage leaves with the oil and salt leftover in the bowl. Working one potato slice at a time, lift up and place a sage leaf on the pan, and return the browned side of the potato on top of the sage leaf. Return to oven and bake for about 10 minutes. Once again, flip potaotes over, exposing the sage leaf and bake for 10 minutes more.


My sage plant overwintered very nicely....despite our long cold snowy winter ..or perhaps because of it.
