Rosemary Red Potatoes
I thought I'd share one of my favorite side dishes. I certainly do not consider myself to be a great cook - but these are super easy and everyone in my family loves them. By the way, I do enjoy cooking more since we remodeled our kitchen a few years ago (which I talked about here). So this is how I made them:
I washed about a pound of red potatoes (I use more but I'm cooking for six):
Then I cut them into wedges:
And added olive oil, crushed rosemary, and garlic salt:
Any brands will do, I just happen to have these on hand. I drizzled the olive oil over the potatoes and mixed in the rosemary and garlic salt to taste:
Then, I lined a large cookie sheet with tin foil and sprayed with Pam (I like to use the olive oil Pam but any kind will do):
Next, I spread them all out on the pan. It's important to make a single layer of potatoes. They will cook more evenly and turn out a little more crispy:
Toss them into the oven at 350 degrees for about 40 minutes. I like to turn the broiler on for the last few minutes to crisp them up a little more. But if you do that, remember to watch them because they can burn quickly (yes - I learned that from experience). Here is what they look like after baking:
I like to salt them as soon as they come out of the oven but that's completely optional. Then serve:
Yum. I wish you could smell them - they are delicious! And super easy! And - they go great with everything. I make them to go with hamburgers, chicken or even sandwiches. Ok, food break is over. I'm going to go paint something...
