New potatoes with Roasted Garlic Vinaigrette

First of all, I'd like to thank my mom for giving us this great pasta bowl set, which is the backdrop for this picture. Thanks mom!

We made these potatoes with the previous post, Fruit and Walnut-stuffed pork loin.  It worked out well because both of these recipes called for an hour of cook time at the same temperature (400).  We didn't have new potatoes, so we just used regular red potatoes cut up smaller.  Otherwise, we didn't make any changes to this recipe.

In a word: delish.  The white wine vinegar in this is really great. 

As of this post, 18 people gave it a rating of 5 out of 5. Can't argue with that!
