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...

Mixed Nut Butter

I've been making almond butter for the Mr. some time now. I used to make it in my (very) old food processor. Matter of fact, my dad bought the food processor for me before I ever got married . . . from a garage sale! So I know it's at least 20 years old, but probably older! I bet when my dad did that he had no idea I'd still be using it! That's money well spent, huh? Recently, thought, the Mr. saw a "suggestion" to make mixed nut butter. There you go; enough said! I've already made him two different kinds recently. Regardless of your preference, I don't think you can go wrong! The first I made was a combination of walnut and pecan Now, I've made a mix of cashew and walnut Next will be pecan and almond I think. It's so easy. Follow the general directions from the post about making almond butter: http://karen-proverbs31.blogspot.com/2012/01/almond-butter.html There's a bit of difference, but on...
