ideas for potatoes?

[megs4413]

we're having some kind of potatoes tonight, but i don't know how i want to fix them. I usually mash them, and that's yummy and all, but i'm kind of sick of eating mashed potatoes all the time...how else can i prepare red new potatoes? i was thinking there must be a way to season them and roast them in the oven....ideas?

If you just want plain roasted potatos, just cut up potatos, toss with a little olive oil, s&p and place on a baking dish, at 425, for about 30-40 minutes. Sometimes I add rosymary or dill if I'm in the mood!

HTH!

I make roasted potatoes all the time, love them! Just wash and quarter them (leave the skins on). Toss with some olive oil and some seasoning. I use salt, pepper, and italian seasoning mix. Cook uncovered at 375 for 45mins-1 hour. Stir them a few times so they get nice and brown! I usually cook them a little longer just because I like mine really crunchy on the outside. DD likes them too, but for her I cut off the skin part or do a small dish of some peeled ones.

Ooooh yeah, nothing is better than crispy, crunchy roasted potatoes. Just as the pps said s&p, olive oil, and I also add some minced garlic and some thyme.

You could also make oven fries. Basically the same thing except cut them in home fry shape. After the salt, pepper, and olive oil I have used these pairs of spices:

cumin and chili powder

oregeno and basil

paprika and garlic powder

We like this too, so delicious and fast! I also like to make potato salad with red potatoes. Boil them whole (it take a bit longer, but they don't get grainy this way) then run under cool water. Cut into quarters whole still a bit warm, add mayo, a bit of milk and whatever else you like (we like a little bit of mustard, celery, green onion, garlic and sweet pickles). Mix and cool.

Look up the recipe in Epicurious (there's a few). These are always a hit with my family.
