Roasted potato wedges are a staple in my house. We have them at least once a week because not only are they delicious, but they are also incredibly easy to make. The secret is to parboil them beforehand. This helps the interior of the potatoes become soft and fluffy while the high heat of the […]

Melting Potatoes
These are called ‘Melting Potatoes’ because they are first seared to get a bit of a crust on them. Then, broth and butter go into the same pan before the whole thing goes straight into the oven. As they cook, the potatoes absorb all of the liquid, making them so tender and soft inside, almost […]
Jamie’s Roasted Potatoes
Originally published on January 23, 2014 I think roasted potatoes was one of those things I made even when I first started cooking. They were so easy. Wash and cut up some taters, toss them with oil, salt, and herbs, put them in the oven, and you’re done. Do you know that this is actually […]
Roasted Potatoes that are Actually Boiled
Originally published on August 8, 2014 It seems my entire adult life I’ve been trying to find new ways to cook potatoes.

Pan Roasted Potatoes
Originally published on November 3, 2014 I love potatoes. They used to be the bane of my existence because Brent will only eat them certain ways, and I quickly tired of making them over and over. But he took a few steps out of his box, and I started figuring out that just by changing a few things, I could switch […]
Mexican Potatoes
Originally published on December 11, 2014 Ah, it’s that time of year again. The time of shopping, parties, decorating, and celebrations – and we still have work and families to take care of during all of it. Sometimes it amazes me that most of us seem to make it out of these holidays still in […]
Double Potato Soup
Originally published on December 1, 2017 One of my very good friends that I’ve known since public school helped me make this soup when I went home last for a visit. As we were making it she told me that she had made potato soup before, but had never considered adding a little bit of sweet potato to […]
