I'm always looking for a new & easy way to get dinner on the table, so when I saw how hassle free & delicious my mom's roasted potatoes are to make I knew I should watch closely to see just what they were all about. To my surprise it's basically just potatoes & spices you might already have in your pantry. With potatoes being so inexpensive this is a very affordable way to provide a tasty starch at dinner time!
To make roasted potatoes you need to preheat your oven to 450 degrees. A high temperature is needed to get a crisp outside, but soft inside on the potato. Dice potatoes (however many you need depending on how many you're cooking for) into 1/3 inch pieces. Put the potatoes in a baking dish & lightly drizzle olive oil over the potatoes for flavor and to keep the seasonings on the potatoes. Sprinkle the oiled potatoes with salt, garlic powder, onion powder, & spicy montreal steak seasoning (McCormick's). Toss the potatoes to make sure they are all evenly covered and then they are ready for the oven. At 450 degrees they shouldn't need more than 20-25 minutes. About 10 minutes into the cooking process give them a stir to keep them from sticking to the bottom and to get an even brown on all sides of the potatoes.
These have become my husband's favorite way to have potatoes. Maybe they'll become yours as well. Remember, you can usually change a recipe to suit your own taste. You may not care for spicy food, so use regular montreal seasoning. Or rosemary is an simple substitute for steak seasoning all together. Once you try these potatoes you'll see an endless amount of ways to make this flavorful side.
