Herb-Roasted Potatoes


These potatoes make a great side dish for any meal. They are crunchy on the outside and soft in the middle, and everyone (including my kids) love them. Thanks goes to my friend, Katherine, for introducing me to this fun way of making potatoes. This time I served the potatoes with a shredded pork roast, spinach & strawberry salad with tangy lemon dressing, and cashew honey beans. Every recipe used in the meal has been posted on this blog! When we sat down to dinner and I realized that, I thought that was pretty cool. We've been collecting our recipes on this website for just over a year now, and it's been fun!

Herb-Roasted Potatoes

submitted by Erin ~ thesisterscafe.com 

 


¼ cup olive oil
1 ½ tablespoons fresh lemon juice
2 tsp garlic powder
1 tsp dried thyme
1 tsp dried rosemary
1 tsp dried marjoram
¼ tsp dried oregano
¼ tsp salt
¼ tsp ground black pepper
3 russet potatoes (about 2 ¼ pounds), scrubbed (do not peel), cut into ½ -inch cubes 

Preheat oven to 400°F. Combine all ingredients except potatoes in large bowl. Stir to blend well. Add potatoes to seasoning; toss to coat. Transfer potatoes to large rimmed baking sheet, spreading out in single layer. Bake until brown and tender, about 40 minutes, turning potatoes halfway through cooking.

  5. Well, that was weird! I could see what you meant about not seeing the recipe, so I fixed it. Hopefully that doesn't happen again...

  6. I love roasted potatoes. I often do potatoes, carrots, parsnips and onion quarters together. Since we have to watch salt, I use the seasoning mixture with no salt. Notice I didn't mention any brand? Didn't know if I should.

  9. The recipe looks delicious, I'm going to give it a try tonight! One thing though; the font for the recipe is light grey and VERY difficult to see...

  13. These are amazing! I did them with 3 lbs of red potatoes and they turned out perfectly. They smell so good! We had them with fish and asparagus.....so yummy. I get red potatoes from my produce co-op and they have just been sitting and sitting. I am so glad to know something I can do with them! Thanks for an awesome recipe and awesome website.
