Garlic Roasted Red Potatoes
"I have enjoyed these for years. I used to quarter the potatoes, but when I became a diabetic I started to cross cut the potatoes and by eating them a slice at a time you get the full flavor of your potato without eating a lot of carbs. You also get your potato fix and satisfy your cravings. The trick is to place the potatoes between two steak knifes and slice down using the knife handles as stops so you don't cut completely through the potato. Make the slices about an 1/8-inch apart and fan the potato so there is space in between the slices. This holds the spices and supercharges the potato."

These are some of the best roasted potatoes I've ever had. The rosemary really makes the dish. Thanks so much for sharing! -
yummy!! -
My family loved these. I skipped the rosemary and green onion and used regular table salt. I did reduce the amount of oil used but I think for our family's tastes I would only use about 3-4 Tablespoons next time. Just personal preference. Thanks for the recipe. -
These potatoes were great, nice and crispy. I also quartered them and used only a 1/2 c. oil. I loved the rosemary too, thanks! Made this for Fall PAC 2008. -

Go figure I have been a full blown Diabetic for 4 1/2 years and I Control my diabetes 100% by the food that I eat. No Medications or insulin. I am in the process of writing a "Cook" Book on the topic, also in the book I explain in great detail why most Diabetics in this country are Brainwashed by Doctors and Dietitians into believing that they are eating a healthy diet when in fact the diet maybe healthy but absolutly Not diabetic friendly. Can you guess what my pet peeve is yet?
I have helped people reduce their Insulin intake by 80% or completely through the foods they eat. Thats kinda my hobbie, The working title of my book is "The Diabetics Cookbook for Dummies" For obvious reasons I can not use that title, however you get the idea, The book is about 50 50 on education and recipes,In some cases I may use some of your recipes if they are truly diabetic friendly (low carb and low sugar) Suger Free doesn't mean that it is automatically Good for Diabetics.
Just one example: according to the "American Diabetic Association" it's ok to include a Suger Free Blueberry Muffin in you daily diet even though it contains over 30 grams of Carbohydrates and 9 grams of Sugar. That is in NO WAY Diabetic Friendly. They want people to control their diabetes with Drugs or Insulin and not through the foods they eat. You Truly can eat like a King and still control your diabetes, Don't worry I cook everything so not all of the recipes that I post will be diabetic frendly, My Passion? Well I really enjoy cooking and helping other people.
