Roasted Gold Potatoes

Yesterday, I needed a side to put with our grilled chicken. Quick-like, I thought of potatoes! They're often under-rated but potatoes are actually so delicious and extremely versatile!

Roasted Gold Potatoes

1 yukon gold potato per person

olive oil

Herbs de Provence

coarse sea salt

Preheat oven to 450 degrees.

Wash potatoes well and dice the potatoes into whatever size you like, just keep it uniform in size for even bake time. If your potatoes are small, you may want to throw in a couple of extra just to be safe.

Place diced potatoes in large bowl and drizzle with olive oil, maybe a couple of tablespoons. Sprinkle a generouls amount of Herbs de Provence in the bowl. Use a large spoon to toss potatoes until well coated.

Pour onto a foil lined baking sheet. Sprinkle with a smidge of sea salt. Herbs de Provence has thyme, rosemary, basil, tarragon, lavender flower, and savory in the mix. It is salt free -- that's why you need to add a bit of salt to the mix.

Bake for 20 minutes or until done. Of course, bake time depends on the amount of potatoes you're cooking. You'll want them to be easily pierced with a fork and have a nice goldeny-roasted color.

Serve warm.

**you can use this on fingerlinge potatoes, red new potatoes, or regular russet potatoes.

Charleston's Style Potato Soup

Love Charleston's! Love everything I ever eat at Charleston's. Love the blackened fish sandwich, which isn't listed on the menu but you can still order it, with glazed carrots. Love the carrots! Love the chicken fingers; the best there are! I rarely order them -- because it's not a healthy choice, but oh boy! They're delish! Love the honey glazed croissant. L.O.V.E! Love the pork chops with smashed potatoes and glazed carrots. Love the potato soup! Seriously adore it! It's thick. It's simple. It's delicious! We don't have a Charleston's where we live. Boo hoo! Here's a close replica of Charleston's baked potato soup. I found it at www.tastebook.com I made some adjustments to the recipe. Not because I think I "know," but because I didn't have everything on hand nor can my sweet girl cherub have some of the ingredients. I made it and didn't tell my family what it was su...

"Hosaf" (Dried Fruit Compote)

I've made reference to our trip last Summer to different European countries. My prized souvenirs are cookbooks from each country. I'm not sure, of the 4 cookbooks, which is my favorite, but I surely enjoy the one I purchased while in Greece. I'll tell the quick story: We were in an open air market in Greece, searching through antiques and junk. Along the perimeter of where we were shopping were business. In typical European fashion, outside one of the restaurants was a young man leaning against the doorframe, as if to summon customers into his restaurant. When he heard our English, he asked where we were from, as he had studied in the States when he was in school. That question led to a great conversation and he invited us into the restaurant which he and his mother owned. We sampled all sorts of incredible foods that afternoon and when I told him that I would love to have a cookbook because of the great experience we had just had, he showed me the co...
