Sage Potatoes with Garlic
Sage is used in many recipes in the autumn and winter months. I had an enormous amount of sage growing in the backyard for the past several years and now it's all dead! I'm not sure what happened. I live in Los Angeles, where it rarely gets cold. I recently bought a new sage plant. It has about 6 leaves on it, which I used for these delicious potatoes.
