This simple dish makes a nice alternative to French fries. It comes from The PlumpJack Cookbook by Jeff Morgan.
5 T. olive oil
3 lbs. potatoes, scrubbed (recipe called for large white or Yukon Gold, but I used potatoes from the big old bag of regular baking potatoes I had on hand)
1 T. dried rosemary
coarse salt and pepper
Cover the bottom of your roasting pan with 2 T. oil. Slice potatoes into 1/8-inch rounds. Place in pan. (You can be decorative here, and line them up in overlapping rows or in a circular pattern.) Drizzle over the remaining 3 T. olive oil. Sprinkle with rosemary, and season with salt and pepper as desired. Cook at 400 degrees aout 30 minutes, until golden brown.
Question: do you have any favorite summertime side dishes?
What a simple, delicious way to prepare potatoes! My family would gobble those up.
ReplyDeleteWe had my favorite summer side dish tonight -
ReplyDeleteSaute some onions and red bell pepper (or halved grape tomatoes) in olive oil/butter and add corn that's been cut off the cob.
Right before serving, grind fresh black pepper over it, add some salt, and a couple of teaspoons of chopped cilantro.
Yummy looking potatoes!
ReplyDeleteCarpoolqueen, that sounds heavenly. Must try as soon as our bell peppers are ripe :)
ReplyDeleteThink I'll try that this very week. :) We've been digging up some beautiful red potatoes.

ReplyDeletePotatoes and I are very close friends. I love everything about potatoes- including this recipe.
ReplyDeleteNice alternative to fries indeed! Lighter and more flavourful, i'm sure!
ReplyDeleteSummertime side dishes: baby spinach salads with "salsas" made of apples, avocado, celery, lime juice, hard boiled eggs and some almonds! yummy!
My husband loves potato chips/French fries, and these look like a delicious, healthy alternative!
ReplyDeleteThis looks great. I love crispy potatoes with rosemary!
