we made beer can chicken for din tonight, with taters on the side. i was a little smitten from the Crispy Potatoes recipe i saw on whisked, and thought that would be a lovely yet easy side for them.
ingredients list (for 3: 2 potatoes/person):
- 6 medium red potatoes
- 2 tbsp olive oil, plus more for rubbin'
- salt to taste
- pepper to taste
- grated parmesan cheese
to make: preheat oven to 350 degrees. rub potatoes in olive oil, and poke holes all over on them with a fork. bake potatoes for 35 - 40 minutes, until soft when poked with a fork. heat 2 tbsp olive oil in a large pan over medium heat. add potatoes to skillet, then crush with the bottom of a bottle of wine or large glass. cook for about 2-3 minutes per side, until crispy, and sprinkle to taste with salt, pepper & grated parmesan cheese.

so... these were alright. i added bacon chipolte sea salt to ours (which is AMAZING on burgers), but it actually just made the potatoes taste funny. mine got a little crumbly, but i think if i used a smaller sized potatoe they might work better. not sure. all in all though, these are simple and are a good potatoe side without a lot of calories... easy. if i take away my salt error, i'd say they are a solid 6.5 ******~.
