Side Bite: Garlic & Herb Crispy Roasted Potatoes

Hi Busies!

I’m not a huge red meat fan, but every once in awhile I love a good steak.  But I don’t love paying for a good steak dinner!  In fact, I usually prefer to order the salmon when I’m eating at a steakhouse – because I cook our steaks using the Gordon Ramsey method and they turn out as good, if not better, than restaurant quality!  

But I digress.  Because this post is about potatoes, the forever peanut butter to steak’s jelly (I’m still deciding if using “steak’s jelly” is getting my point across.  But there’s peanut butter involved, so it must be a good idea).  Potatoes – crispy golden on the outside, white and fluffy on the inside, definitely getting seconds, potatoes.  Coated in herbs, garlic, coarse salt, and pepper, so that every bite is a perfectly seasoned blend of crunchy outside and pillowy soft inside.

And of course, it’s not just steak – they can be served with all kinds of dishes!  I love them as a side to any roasted or pan seared chicken or pork dish, like this one, shown in the picture below.

Prep is quick and easy – rinse and chop the potatoes, toss to coat in oil and seasonings.  I like to use nonstick foil for these, and flip them halfway through cooking to maximize the golden brown crispy sides.

Before.  Make sure each piece is about the same size and covered in the seasonings!

After.  Served here with crispy parmesan pork.  Look at that golden brown crispy goodness – YUM!
