Week 16: New Potato Recipe(s)

First off, I know this week 17 and I slacked off last week. So here is week 16 and I will post more newness later this week. Also, summer break is coming up and I can guarantee that I will be bringing you lots of fun and exciting and, of course, new things to be trying out! I already have a list of things for each week of summer, so stay tuned :)


The New:
I have a tendency to buy way more potatoes than I need for a certain recipe, but being the potato lover that I am, I always find a way to prepare the extras. That is exactly what happened for this week's new post. In fact, I got a little extra creative and came up with 2 different ways :)


Cubed Parsley Potatoes:
For this recipe, you will need potatoes, parsley, salt, and a little bit of oil. This is super simple, so don't be alarmed at the lack of description each step. First, cube the potatoes and spread them out on a baking sheet. Next drizzle/brush/spray/coat the potatoes with oil and sprinkle salt and parsley on them. Stick them in the oven for 15-20 minutes at 350 degrees. Cooking them longer will make the outsides more crispy.


Garlic Salted Fries:
Although this sounds more fattening because of the fries part, its really not. For this recipe, you need potatoes, oil, and you guessed it: garlic salt. Slice potatoes length-wise several times to create french-fry looking strips. Place them on a baking sheet and drizzle/brush/spray/coat them in oil. Sprinkle them with garlic salt and stick them in the oven for 15-20 minutes at 350 degrees. Cooking them longer will make the outsides more crispy.



The Evidence:

I had six potatoes, so I used 3 for each recipe.

The Verdict:
As I have said before, I love potatoes, so I was by no means disappointed in either of these recipes! They were delicious and ridiculously simple. I don't have much to say past that. I'm assuming it's pretty obvious that you could probably toss the cubed potatoes into another recipe more easily than the fries.
One side note though: these potatoes stuck to the foil on my pan pretty fiercely, so to avoid frustration you may want to grease the foil beforehand.

Enjoy :)
