When it comes to cooking vegetables, I think along the lines of, if in doubt, ROAST IT! These Roasted Potatoes are always a big hit with everyone I have served them to. You might be tempted to leave out the caraway seeds, but I’d encourage you to leave them in. It’s only a teaspoon and in this large batch of potatoes, it adds a nice flavor that isn’t overpowering. I actually added the caraway seeds by accident one time – I thought I grabbed the rosemary and started sprinkling them in before I realized my mistake. Turned out to be a great mistake! These are really yummy!!
Roasted Potatoes
Ingredients
- 5 lbs red or Yukon gold potatoes
- 3 Tbsp olive oil
- 1 tsp caraway seeds
- 1 Tbsp dried rosemary
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp thyme
- 1 ½ tsp salt
- 1 tsp ground black pepper
Instructions
- Chop the potatoes into small bite sized cubes.
- In a large bowl, toss the potatoes and the oil.
- Add the seasonings and toss again to coat evenly.
- Spread onto 2 cookie sheets (the kind with a rim all the way around).
- Bake at 450 degrees for at least 30 minutes, longer if you like them crispier. I like to switch the trays half way through to make sure they are crispy on both the top and bottom.
