The Black Peppercorn Exploring the joy of food!
Potatoes are so incredibly versatile and I love making new and simple side dishes with them. Easily one of my favourite ways to cook potatoes is by roasting them. Whether they are whole, in wedges or cubed, roasting potatoes brings out the best in this vegetable. My favorite way to roast them is by cubing the potatoes. Toss the cubes in an oil and seasoning mixture, lay them on a cookie sheet and bake them 400F for an hour, flipping halfway through. They come out similar to french fries or hash browns and are crispy on the outside but soft and fluffy in the middle. The seasoning in today’s recipe is tex-mex, which give the potatoes a deep flavour and a hint of heat. They go great with chicken, pork, beef ….. well, pretty much anything!
