5 pounds new red
potatoes
Extra virgin cold pressed olive oil
20 cloves garlic
Fresh Rosemary
Paprika
Wash and cut potatoes into half or quarters depending on size.
Place in a glass bowl or directly into a long, glass cooking dish.
This is to be a single layer dish and you may need to use two glass
dishes.
Cut up at least 20 cloves of garlic. Add to potatoes.
Slice off fresh rosemary from stems of at least 3-4 rosemary stems and
place in with garlic and potatoes.
Cover with olive oil and sprinkle with paprika. Stir and cover with
plastic wrap. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours.
Stir whenever you think of it or open the refrigerator. Preheat oven
to 400 degrees.
Roast in glass dish for 45-60 minutes. The potatoes will be a little
crusty on the outside.
Take a brown paper bag, smooth and cover with a paper towel. Drain
potatoes and vegetables.
Serve with a sprinkle of fresh parsley or fresh cilantro. If using
vegetables, try fresh basil.
Hint: You can add vegetables to this recipe including carrots,
butternut squash, zucchini, eggplant and more. During the last 20
minutes of cooking, you can add fresh tomatoes with fresh basil.
Scalloped Potatoes
This recipe from Teresa Johnson is quick and delicious. It takes about
fifteen minutes total and the rest is cooking time. This recipe is a
welcome break in the starch department and reheats very well. Enjoy!
6 cups 1/4 inch
sliced potatoes
1 cup whole or low fat milk
1 can cream of mushroom soup
1 can cheese soup
Onion and pepper to taste
Combine the milk and
soup and heat slightly to loosen it up.
Using a 9 x 13 inch baking dish, spray with Pam, and layer the
potatoes and cream mixture adding a layer of onion and pepper each
time to taste.
I did not add any salt since the soups have a lot of salt in them
already.
You could sprinkle grated cheddar cheese on top or put slices of
American cheese during the last fifteen minutes of baking.
I haven't tried it yet but Pepperidge Farms bread crumbs would give
the dish a little crispy topping.
Bake at 350 degrees covered for one hour and uncovered for about an
hour or until tender.
