One of my absolute favorite vegetables in the world is the potato. I love potatoes - mashed, fried, baked, smashed, I will take any of them. My favorite of all potatoes is the humble little red skin potato. I find these potatoes are great for smashing (what I like to call the lazy woman’s mashed potato) and for roasting in the oven. Here’s a quick and easy recipe to make oven roasted potatoes (in this case home fries, but these can be also chunked and roasted that way too). The options are endless with these little babies - add any spices you like, Italian seasoning, chili powder, red pepper flakes, rosemary, etc.
Oven Home Fries
- 3 large red potatoes washed and cut into half moons
- Enough oil to coat them
- 1 tsp. Italian Seasoning
- Salt and pepper to taste
- mustard or ketchup for serving (I prefer mustard with my home fries)
Preheat oven to 425°. Place cut potatoes into bowl coat with olive oil and seasonings, toss to distribute the seasonings. Pour the potatoes out onto sprayed cookie sheet. Allow the potatoes to roast for 15 minutes, flip and roast for another 10 minutes. The potatoes should be golden brown.
