Oven Potatoes

Submitted by DebbiF

"These are a big favorite in our house. It is a healthy alternative to frying the potatoes. The outside of the potato gets crisp and the inside gets soft. I have used several different types of potatoes and have had great results with all of them although the cooking time will need to be varied with the creamer types."

I liked them ok, but the 5 stars I attribute to my 4yo who gobbled up his "french fries". I was glad to give him a healthier alternative that he really enjoyed.

A simple recipe to make tasty potatoes. I used 6 yukon gold potatoes and not quite a teaspoon of dried herbs. The potatoes have a slightly sweet flavor and the crisp brown outside is very good. Thank you for posting DebbiF.

Great, easy recipe! The potatoes turned out really crispy & delicious even though I cut the oil in half. My husband is not a potato lover but went back for seconds!

This was easy ans yummy a perfect combo. I used new taters from my garden, so I wedged them. DD was claiming dibs on the leftovers before the dinner table was cleared. Mine only took about 45 minutes to cook, everyone wants them again. Thanks!
