Is Wegman's Watching Me?

Last week, I reported about the impending arrival of Wegman's up the road and how much I was looking forward to shopping there (although I have been warned my grocery bill may be going up). Last night, we prepared a nice Sunday dinner, inviting over a friend to share at our table. We were going to prepare a roast chicken, but there were none to be had at the store. So we went with flank steak instead.

We decided to roast some potatoes, instead of baking them, as we will often do with flank steak. We went with a rosemary-olive oil toss and roasted them in the oven as the steak grilled outside (in the rain!). Then today, I see on the Wegman's Twitter feed this recipe for Rosemary and Garlic Potatoes. I know that Wegman's is supposed to be very community oriented, but this is a little much . . . Full disclosure, I did use just regular potatoes, not the fingerling variety called for in this recipe - but they were good nonetheless.

Rosemary & Garlic Potatoes
Serves 8
Active Time: 5 min
Total Time: 30 min
  • 1 pkg (24 oz) Food You Feel Good About Fingerling Potato Medley, larger ones halved on the bias
  • 4 cloves Food You Feel Good About Peeled Garlic, halved lengthwise
  • 2 Tbsp Wegmans Basting Oil
  • Wegmans Sea Salt
  • Fresh cracked black pepper
  • 1 pkg (0.25 oz) Food You Feel Good About Rosemary
Preheat oven to 450 degrees.

Toss potatoes and garlic with basting oil in a large bowl; season with salt and pepper.

Scatter rosemary sprigs on foil-lined baking sheet (reserve 1 sprig). Top with single layer of potatoes and garlic.

Roast 25-30 min on center rack of oven, until potatoes are fork-tender and light brown. Garnish potatoes with reserved rosemary sprig.

Haha! Hey BA! This is quite the coincidence--too funny that Rosemary and Garlic Potatoes was the "Recipe of the Day" on Twitter the day after you made it! Your flank steak and roasted potatoes sound fantastic. A perfect Sunday dinner for company! We hope you had a nice evening with your friends :).

Anon - I have no idea what that means.

Wegmans - thanks for the comment! I am really looking forward to the grand opening!
