ROASTED POTATO HALVES

This recipe is not exclusively mine and I'm sorry I forgot who to give the credit to. Thanks for a nice, healthy, potato side dish. I needed something to go with my meatloaf dinner and this was an excellent choice. It's simple and tasty and who doesn't like potatoes cooked in any way?

Time 55m

Number Of Ingredients 3

6 potatoes, medium
1 Tbsp olive oil
salt and pepper, to taste

Steps:

  • 1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • 2. Six potatoes - more or less as needed for your meal. Peeled, or not peeled. If you use new potatoes leave the skin on. I used dark-skin russet baking potatoes, and peeled the skin off. Your preference. Cut each potato in half, lengthwise.
  • 3. Drizzle with Olive Oil. Then with both hands, rub each potato halve until it's completely covered.
  • 4. Place the potato halves, cut-side-up, single layer on the parchment paper covered baking sheet. Cover with aluminum foil.
  • 5. Bake for 20 minutes. Remove foil, then bake for another 30 minutes. Potatoes will be thoroughly cooked and have a golden tone baked look to them. Salt and Pepper to taste. No other spices are needed but for added flavor when serving, I did add Peppercorn Medley. These roasted potato halves taste great, even without butter.

ROASTED POTATO HALVES WITH HERB SPRIGS

Sounds better in French: Pommes de Terres Roties aux Herbes Variees. These are very pretty potatoes--and tasty too. Simple and elegant. From Georgeanne Brennan's "Savoring France."

Time 50m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 4

4 -5 baking potatoes, unpeeled, scrubbed and halved lengthwise
3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
8 -10 sprigs fresh herbs, any combination of thyme, sage, tarragon, rosemary, etc
2 teaspoons coarse salt

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 375F (190C).
  • Place the halved potatoes in a bowl and pour the oil over them. Toss in the oil and/or rub them with your hands to insure that each is coated with oil.
  • Arrange the potatoes cut side up on a baking sheet.
  • Astuce (Hint): If your potato half keeps rolling over, slice a tiny sliver off the uncut side, giving it a flat surface on which to rest.
  • Press an herb sprig on to each potato half; sprinkle them with salt.
  • Bake until a golden crust has formed on the cut surface and the potato half is tender through, about 45 minutes.
  • Serve, cut side up and nice and hot.
