Roasted purple finger potatoes with coriander, basil, grapefruit topping

Background: I'm now inspired to try new combinations of flavors after this past weekend's food aventure...  I finally stopped teaching which meant that I could catch up on other work...and experiment with cooking again!  LOVE having (relatively) more time...  I've been looking forward for days to try the teeny purple potatoes that came in my organic box...and tonight was definitely the night.

Method:
Materials:
tiny purple skinned potatoes that came in my organic box!
olive oil
garlic
sea salt
freshly ground pepper
red pepper flakes
coriander chutney
fresh basil (from the basil plant in my organic box!)

Procedure:
Preheat oven to 400 F

Cut potatoes in half and lay it in a 13x9 pyrex.
Sprinkle with olive oil, sea salt, red pepper flakes, and freshly ground black pepper.
Put unpeeled garlic cloves in pyrex.
Bake until potatoes are roasted.
In mini food processor, blend olive oil, coriander chutney, sea salt.
When roasted potatoes are done, lightly smash with fork or potato masher.
Drizzle coriander sauce over potatoes.
Sprinkle with grapefruit juice and fresh basil.
Return to oven for five minutes.
Combine.

Results:
Super ridiculously yummy!

Discussion:
Results are likely to be replicated with success.  Future studies may wish to try blending grapefruit juice w/ the coriander chutney sauce instead
