Another one of those days that little tummy says it doesn't want rice for dinner.
And I spotted really pretty tiny potatoes at giant yesterday which beckoned to me to buy them home!
What else is better than roasted potatos? :p Totally can't forget how awesome the potatoes tasted in Europe, which kinda started my flame of love for roasted potatoes.
Aren't the brastagi baby potatos absolutely small and cute?!
nuff said.
Let's start with the modified recipe of the ultimate roasted potatos I found here
Retailing at $1.25 from giant. A good deal considering this portion is sufficient for 3 human's potato consumption
1. Scrub clean and hard the surface of the potatoes to ensure all dirt, mud and soil has been removed. Roasted potatoes taste better with the skin on. Besides, vitamin A resides on the skin of the potatos!(:
Some extra pork ball, hotdog and mushroom to whip up some pasta for the 2 hungry men at home who needs more carbs
2. Evenly coat the insides of the metal tin used for baking the potatos evenly with margarine and place them in the preheated oven of 200degrees for 5-10mins.
Modified from the original recipe of using fats.
3. After washing the potatoes, put them in a pot of water that barely covers the potatoes, boil till the bubbles are roaring, before bringing them to a simmer for 2 minutes. Drain these little cute things and shake them in the sieve to fluff them up.
4. Coat them with a thin layer of flour( to increase crispyness when they are baked). I used potato flour at home since it was the only available flour I can find in the fridge.
5. After baking them for 15 mins on one side, take the potatoes out and give them a few gentle tosses. Add some minced garlic and all purpose herbs ( mine's from Mc Cormick) and put them back into the oven at 15 mins
6. After you are satisfied with the texture of the potatoes, add a pinch of salt and shake em well.
shake it baby, shake it
7. Eggs for sunny side up. Heat up the pan, add some butter, and crack in the egg.
8. Heat up some butter, throw in the sliced button mushrooms and saute them until golden brown. Sprinkle all-purpose herb powder for some herbish taste
9. Cut some slits on the sausages and pan-fry them using butter.
Pardon me on lack of photos of the others as they are quite easy, and my main focus is really on the ultimate roasted potatoes!
*drools*
Dinner is served!
yum yum tum tum.
Brother totally loves the roasted potatoes. He says my platter looks good enough to be served for $18. I think it's kinda over-priced. He's too kind :D I'll give him sibling discount. $15 will do :p
But he says the potatoes are done better than some of those outside. YAYYS.
Not bad for a first timer of the recipe. But also, the recipe was easy to follow, though I modified some of it and was struggling with cooking the pasta, and ensuring that everything is well heated to be served at the same time.
*pats my own shoulder*
Good job!
