Some of you know that I am an awful eater. My family here in Utah gets together most Sundays and I have a few key cousins that will always offer me vegetables or mashed potatoes as a joke, knowing I won't accept. Yes you heard my right, I don't like mashed potatoes. That's a weird one, I know. Don't ask.
Heat oven to 400 Degrees
Cut up potato into bit sized chunks (the smaller the crispier)
Put in bowl
Add garlic salt and pepper. It's hard to tell with the salt so don't over do it but you can see the pepper better.
SPRAY CASSEROLE DISH- I have forgotten to do this EVERY time I make these. It is awful. #firstworldproblems
Put in oven once heated to desired temperature
Leave in oven for 30 minutes. Check and stir. Put back in oven.
(If you have forgotten to spray your casserole dish you'll find out now. The potato will stick to the
bottom and it's just annoying. You can repent now and move the potatoes over to one side, spray, move them to the other side, spray, and then evenly redistribute before putting them back in the oven)
Check again in 15 minutes.
Check again in 15 minutes.
Anyway one Sunday my Grandma Westover made these amazing roasted potatoes and just asked me to try one. Anyway I looked at them and I was like I'll take an entire plate thank you. I like potatoes when they don't taste like dirt aka fried and crispy. Up until then the only way I was getting potatoes were from potato chips or fries. These roasted potatoes are amazing- they're basically fries but healthier? Hopefully healthier.
Here's what you do (recipe courtesy of Gma Westover)
1 potato per person
Olive oil
Garlic salt
Pepper
Cooking spray
Bowl
Knife
Glass casserole dish
Heat oven to 400 DegreesCut up potato into bit sized chunks (the smaller the crispier)
Put in bowl
Drizzle olive oil. You don't need a ton, just enough to cover the potato bits
Add garlic salt and pepper. It's hard to tell with the salt so don't over do it but you can see the pepper better.
Stir it up
SPRAY CASSEROLE DISH- I have forgotten to do this EVERY time I make these. It is awful. #firstworldproblems
Put in glass casserole dish. With fewer potatoes use a smaller dish if you have one
Put in oven once heated to desired temperature
Leave in oven for 30 minutes. Check and stir. Put back in oven.
(If you have forgotten to spray your casserole dish you'll find out now. The potato will stick to the
bottom and it's just annoying. You can repent now and move the potatoes over to one side, spray, move them to the other side, spray, and then evenly redistribute before putting them back in the oven)
Check again in 15 minutes.
Check again in 15 minutes.
It takes a total of 1 hour to cook but if you want your potatoes a little less crispy don't feel like you have to use the full hour. Also, if you're using fewer potatoes (1-2) check it about 5 minutes early on the last 15 minutes. That's when they're about perfect.
Enjoy!
Enjoy!
