Roasted Potatoes

The best fix for satisfying a french fry craving while sparing some of the calories!

 

Ingredients

  • 2 potatoes (Yukon gold)
  • Olive Oil
  • 1 clove garlic
  • ½ tsp salt
  • Rosemary (optional, just if you’re feeling fancy)

 

 

Tools

 

  • Cutting board
  • Large sharp knife
  • Baking sheet
  • Medium size mixing bowl
  • Measuring spoons
  • Spatula (the flipper kind!)

 

 

Step-by-Step

 

  • Preheat oven to 425.
  • Clean potatoes (give them a good scrub), dry, and cut off any bruises.
  • Slice your potatoes into slices, then cubes about ½” thick.
  • Toss them in the mixing bowl as you go.
  • Mince the clove of garlic.
  • Toss garlic in with potatoes.
  • Add (a generous) 2 tbsp olive oil and ½ tsp salt. Remember: you cal always add more salt later. You can’t subtract it!
  • Mix them with your hands and make sure every potato has equal oily shinyness. Makes them delicious and keeps them from sticking to your baking sheet. If your worried, add a bit more oil.
  • Dump out potatoes on a baking sheet and spread so there is just one layer of potatoes.
  • To fancify your potatoes, throw in some pieces of rosemary.
  • Sprinkle some pepper over potatoes.
  • Put potatoes in oven for 25 minutes to start.
  • Check on potatoes and flip them to ensure all-sided crispyness.
  • Roast for another 25 minutes or to desired crispyness.
  • Let cool and enjoy!
