Roasted Potatoes: 3 recipes

We have been enjoying fresh potatoes, especially Yukon Golds,

grown by one of our local vegetable farmers. Any kind of potatoes

you have on hand can be used in these recipes. If there are any

leftovers reheat in the microwave or make a hearty breakfast dish

with crumbled cooked sausage, peppers, and scrambled eggs.

2 pounds clean potatoes cut into chunks, about golf ball size or little smaller

¼ cup olive oil

Choose of these mixtures:

5 tablespoons Dijon mustard, 2 cloves of garlic (1 tsp.) chopped,¾ tsp. Italian seasoning

4 cloves of garlic (2 tsp.) minced, 1 tsp. coarse salt, ¾ tsp. Paprika, ¾ tsp. ground pepper

1 envelope packaged dry savory herb and garlic soup mix

Place all ingredients in a large plastic bag and turn, or place all in a large bowl to toss to cover potatoes with mixture. Spread in a lightly greased shallow pan. Tip: cover pan with foil for easy clean up. Bake at 425 degrees for 40 minutes or until potatoes are fork tender. Stir occasionally. Makes 4 servings.
