Portuguese Potatoes Recipe

I ate these unforgettable potatoes along with a perfect rotisserie chicken on a warm summer night when my girlfriend and I literally followed our noses to a restaurant in the Portuguese seaside town of Cascais. The aroma was irresistible. As with so much wonderful food in Portugal, it was supremely simple. I particularly like using shallots, which, when roasted, develop a flavor that pulls savoriness out of anything you eat them with.
