How to use French tarragon bacon baby potatoes.

French Tarragon
In the recipe I used French tarragon.
There are 3 different types of tarragon – French, Mexican and Russian.
French Tarragon has much more taste then the other 2 varieties. For example if you use Russian tarragon you will need to use at least 4 times as much for the same flavour..
French tarragon is very easy to grow at home.
For example the picture on the right shows French Tarragon growing on a bedroom window sill in a pot, and will grow quite quickly.
It’s quite small in the picture simply because I tend to cut it back often for use in recipes.
