Roast Chicken & Basil Smashed Potatoes
Sunday afternoon. The morning cloudiness and drizzle cleared and it's turned out to be a beautiful day. And the perfect Sunday evening meal is a roast chicken dinner. I prefer the high heat method of roasting. The chicken always turns out juicy and tender.
Of course, potatoes and gravy are a must when roasting a chicken. I had some red potatoes I quartered and boiled with a couple of cloves of garlic. When the potatoes were cooked, I drained them, smashed them with milk and butter, salt and plenty of freshly ground black pepper, then stirred in a handful of chopped fresh basil. Delicious! And plenty of leftovers for tomorrow. Yay!

Ooooh, I would like to take a big forkful of those yummy taters. Potatoes and gravy are are two of my favorite foods. Chicken too.
There is nothing like a roast chicken -- and those potatoes look yummy!
This look comfort and good!
Girl...that looks fabulous!
My favourite dinner. I don't know what I want more. The roast chicken or the potatoes. I love that potato photo Lori.
The first dinner I ever learned to make was a roast chicken dinner. And, of course, old fashioned mashed potatoes. I love the idea of the garlic smashed potatoes, Lori...never have tried that on my family.
Your photos are making me hungry!
