Northwoods Fire Potatoes
"NOTE: In the ingredients it says 3 tsp Montreal Steak Spice the computer would accept this but would not accept the real ingredient Penzey's Northwoods Fire Spice mixture. Use Penzeys's!
These potatoes are so easy to make but you will need Penzel's Northwoods Fire Spice mix. They are so good. This recipe is dedicated to SusieD for introducing me to Penzel Spices and her generous nature."

We enjoyed these potatoes very much. I've had the Penzey's Northwoods Fire Spice blend for awhile and was wanting to find a recipe to use it in. I stumbled across this recipe and decided to try it out. Boy, was I glad that I did. This made a delicious, quick and easy side dish. I cut the potatoes, lengthwise into fourths. Also, I did as Hey Jude recommended and baked them covered for 45 mins., then opened up the foil and let them roast for an additional 15 mins. Finally, before serving I sprinkled them with some seasoned salt. My family loved these and gave them 2 thumbs up. Thank you for sharing!! -
*****UPDATE on 7/5/06 I made these again yesterday and this time I kept them in the foil for 45 minutes, then opened up the pouch, placed it on a cookie sheet and let them roast for another 20 minutes. Delicious! I used farmer's market fresh golden potatoes, cut into wedges.******Bergy, these are good and I did use the Penzey's Northwoods spice mixture. Our problem with this is that wrapping it in foil created a steam chamber and our potatoes were, well, pretty much boiled. I'll try this again and let the taters get a breath of fresh oven air by opening the packet and spreading out them out for a bit for about 15 minutes before the end of the cooking time. --June 23, 2006. -
These are terrific. Lots of flavor and of course I am a fan of easy clean up. I had the northwoods spice and used it here. Thank you Bergy for sharing your creation and your kind words here.

Small town in the Okanagan, B.C.
On January 10 2010 I will celebrate 9 years of Life with Zaar. I can't imagine being without it! It has become part of my daily routine.
I feel very privileged to be one of the hosts on the Photo Forum. Taking photos of my culinary efforts is a full time hobby and I love it. My friends all know what to expect when they come to dinner "Are you finished taking pictures?" or "Did you get a photo of so & so?" I never let them wait too long and the food is NEVER cold! I now have over 6000 photos on Zaar - some fairly good and some definitely not so good. I am happy to say that practice does help.
My roots are in Vancouver BC Canada - a very beautiful city that holds many wonderful memories for me. In 1990, I decided that for my retirement years I may want to settle in a smaller community and found a slice of heaven in the North Okanagan B.C. I love living here but every once in a while I miss the bright city lights, the Broadway shows and some of the small wonderful ethnic restaurants that Vancouver abounds in. That is easily resolved. I just take a trip to the coast, visit with friends for a weekend see a show and feast on Dim Sum or other specialty foods.
I am getting a bit long in the tooth but was a very adventurous person. I have river rafted Hell's Gate on the Fraser river, been up in a glider over Hawaii (no not a Hang Glider!), gone hot air ballooning in the Napa Valley & the Fraser Valley, driven dune buggies on the dunes in Oregon, Para sailing in Mexico and tried many other adventurous, challenging, fun things. I have yet to try bungee jumping or sky diving. I may do them yet. I love to travel and experience other cultures. Mexco has been a favorite haunt. I have visited that lovely country many many times. Australia is another favorite as is England!
In the past 16 months I have taken off 61 pounds and feel wonderful. I am off all medications and all systems are GO! In years I may be 79 but in spirit I am still in my forties. We are only as old as we allow ourselves to feel. Always think positive. Do something a bit challenging every day & always do something silly every day. Be a kid again! Laugh every day - it is internal jogging.
