We get A LOT of potatoes through Fair Foods, so we use them. On of the ways I frequently prepare both white and sweet and all sizes is to roast them in the oven. This method is easy, kind of "set it and forget it" where the potatoes turn out crispy and delicious like a french fry but way less calories than frying in oil and no preservatives and junk like some of the ones in the frozen bags. Just good, delicious potatoes. I roast my potatoes on a large stoneware bar pan from pampered chef. This makes a huge difference in the crispiness of the potatoes. If you do not have stoneware you may have to cook them at a little higher temperature for a bit longer.

Potatoes (cut as you like in either fries, wedges or quarters)
2 tbsp vegetable oil
salt and pepper
other seasonings to taste**
Place oil, salt, pepper and seasonings on a sided cookie sheet. Add the potatoes and toss gently to coat all the potatoes evenly. Bake at 425 for 20 minutes. Check the potatoes and turn them with a spatula then cook an additional 20 min.

Love it, but didn't know Pampered Chef was your corporate sponsor. Stoneware? Really?
ReplyDeleteDear Dwight Simon...I am flattered that you read my blog but save the snarky comments for Facebook.
ReplyDeletep.s. i used to sell Pamperd Chef so there is a lot of their stuff in my kitchen, and stoneware rocks. You are just jealous you don't have any.
