No!!!

Yes, (evil laughter), another Mommy Blog (more evil laughter)!!! Life is a story, mine at the moment just happens to occur mostly at home, which means no sword fights or dragons, but plenty of peril, misadventure, and food. Like all good stories we will skip the boring parts (like laundry). So gird up your loins and let us commence with some real domestic adventures; don't forget your sense of humor.

Roasted parmesan and herb potatoes

I have roasted potatoes in the oven before, but this variation came out very tasty and were not dry at all.  I had limited oven space and time over the weekend so I made them ahead of time and just warmed them in the oven before serving which worked well.  It is a little more tedious than some methods, but the result was well worth it.  This fed 14 people, adjust the recipe as needed.

5 pounds of potatoes, cut into bite size pieces (I use a mixture of yukon gold and red potatoes with skin left on)

1/4 cup butter, melted
3 tbsp vegetable oil

parmesan cheese
italian seasoning
celery salt
black pepper
chili powder
seasoned salt
onion powder
garlic powder

Boil the potatoes for 5-10 minutes until slightly soft, but not mashable, drain well.  Combine the oil and butter and pour over potatoes, toss to coat.  Place potatoes in a single layer in a baking pan (you may need several).  To season, I used a parmesan cheese container with approximately 1/3 cup parmesan left inside and added the other seasons to the cheese, mixing well and just eyeballing the amounts according to taste, adjust as desired.  Shake 1/4 of herb/cheese mixture over potatoes and toss, repeat until the potatoes are well coated and the seasoning is used up.  Bake in a 425 oven for 20-40 minutes, until golden and sizzling, stir every 10-15 minutes.  Serve immediately or refrigerate and reheat in oven for later use.
