Oven Potatoes

Oven Potatoes


We make a lot of oven baked potatoes. A lot. You get the flavor of a fried fry without the guilt!

We make breakfast potatoes for breakfast or “Brinner”, steak fries to accompany veggie burgers, sweet potato fries, etc.



Ingredients:



  • Potatoes – Russet, Red, Sweet, Blue, Fingerling – your choice of as many as you’d like

  • Olive Oil

  • Seasonings: I’d suggest black pepper, rosemary, seasoned salt, kosher salt, anything you want!


Directions:



  • Preheat oven to 400

  • Cut potatoes as desired (ideas include wedges, fries, “scallop slices”, cubes)

  • Toss in bowl with enough oil just to coat them. Too much oil will make them soggy. Toss in seasonings BESIDES salt

  • Oil baking sheet – you don’t want stuck potatoes!

  • Spread potatoes on baking sheet

  • Place in oven

  • Stir frequently and cook until desired doneness – it typically takes 45-60 minutes until they’re evenly cooked, browned and crisped

  • Pull out of oven and salt as desired. My favorite is a light sprinkling of kosher salt


Enjoy!
