Potato Confit

Food lovers (myself included) know all to well the term 'confit.'  But for those of you who might be in the dark with the french word, simply put, it means 'cooked in fat.'  Aka, immersed in deliciousness, aka, how (in a world where calories don't count) I'd like all of my food to be cooked.

Today's dinner side dish is just that, baby red potatoes slow roasted in olive oil and garlic.

Oh confit, how you make everything taste so much better.  Don't ever leave me.  Yours Truly, ME.
