Roasted Red Potatoes 27 June 2009

Have I mentioned that I’m even more addicted to potatoes than I am to popcorn?  I could live without popcorn, but not without potatoes.

Ingredients

• 6-8 small red potatoes
• 1-2 Tbsp. extra virgin olive oil
• cayenne pepper
• rosemary
• thyme
• dill
• garlic powder
• parsley
• black pepper
• salt

Directions

1. Preheat oven to 350°.
2. Wash and slice potatoes into bite-sized pieces.
3. Put potatoes in a thin layer in the bottom of a pan (pyrex works best).
4. Drizzle the olive oil over the potato pieces.
5. Sprinkle spices over the potatoes.
6. Cook for 45 minutes.

Honey-Curry Potatoes 31 May 2009

Honey and curry may seem like an odd combination, but it works.  Just a bit of salt right before you eat them accentuates the sweetness perfectly. Found on Recipezaar.

Ingredients

• 1 cup honey
• ¼ cup margarine
• 1 tsp. curry powder
• ½ tsp. dry mustard
• 8-10 potatoes, diced into ½ inch chunks

Directions

1. Bring honey, margarine, curry powder, and dry mustard to a boil in a pot.
2. Let it boil until it rises to nearly top of pot.
3. Immediately take off burner and set aside.
4. Place potatoes into a large bowl, pour honey-curry mixture over and mix well with potatoes.
5. Place on a baking sheet in a single layer.
6. Bake at 350F for 30-40 minutes.

You can also make this with chicken.  To do this, use a few less potatoes, and slice them instead of dice them.  Mix the potatoes with most of the honey-curry mixture, then place in a 9×13 baking dish.  Top with chicken, pour the rest of the honey-curry mixture over the chicken.  Cook the same.
