Roasties!

October 12, 2014 by admin

IMG_8317As much as we enjoy mashed potatoes around the TR house, we also love to mix it up.  One of our favorite potato side dishes is Roasties, our family’s oven roasted version of a potato recipe.

Everyone digs in when we make our Roasties, so we’re pretty sure you and your family will like them too!

Ingredients:

Potatoes- we average 1 fist-sized potato per person.

IMG_8273Tip:  You can use white or red potatoes.  Or add in some sweet potatoes for a flavorful, healthful zing!

2 T Oil

1 T Salt

1 t Pepper

1 t Oregano

1 T Paprika

Process:

1.  Peel and wash potatoes.  Cut into cubes- small cooks better and are easier to eat.  We aim for approximately 1/2″ cubes.

2.  Toss potatoes in a large mixing bowl with  oil and spices.

Tip2: You can easily change up the spice mix to suit your family’s taste.  Add 1 t of garlic powder, chili powder or cumin to give potatoes a little more bite.IMG_8285

3.  Pour potatoes into oven safe baking dish.

4.  Bake at 350 for 30 minutes to an hour.

IMG_8307Tip3:  Different variety of potatoes may take different baking times.  We check the potatoes for doneness at 30 minutes and then use 10 minute increments after that until they are cooked the way we like.

Tip4:  If you need your Roasties quicker, try this: Before you toss with oil and spices, put the potatoes in a pot of water, and boil for five minutes and drain.  This par-cooking will speed the oven time dramatically.

Next time you are making pizza, burgers, or really anything else that needs a fun starch side dish to go with it, try our easy and delicious Roasties!
