Easy Potatoes Recipe

Prep Time 5 minutes
Cook Time 20 minutes

Total Time 25 minutes
Serving 4 servings

Ingredients:
1 pound baby gold potatoes
1 tablespoon olive oil
½ teaspoon salt or to taste
1 teaspoon garlic powder
½ teaspoon Italian seasoning

Directions:

Pre-heat oven to 400℉

Cut potatoes in half or into 1-inch pieces. Toss with olive oil to coat.
Season potatoes with salt, pepper, Italian seasoning, garlic powder, stirring to coat well.

Bake for 10 minutes. Give potatoes a stir, then cook for 8-10 minutes longer depending on how crispy you like them.

You can also put it them in the air fryer for the same time and use a 375℉ temperature.

Cabbage Carrot Slaw

Ingredients:
4 cups red cabbage
1 1/2 cups shredded carrots
1/4 cup mayonnaise
1 tablespoon dijon mustard
1 tablespoon honey
2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1 teaspoon dried parsley – optional
1/4 teaspoon black pepper – optional
Juice of 1/2 lime – I use lime juice, so good.

Directions:
Slice cabbage thinly. Grate carrots or use pre-shredded carrots, and combine cabbage, carrots, and the rest of the slaw ingredients in a mixing bowl.

Notes:
Red cabbage can be found in the produce section. I use half of a head of it for this recipe. Then, I put the rest in a ziploc bag to make later in the week. I put the half I’m using through my food processor. It’s so much easier. You can also purchase a slaw mix and just make your own dressing vs. using the bag they include.

Honey Dressing

I have a jar of this in my fridge all the time. It’s so good on shredded chicken and rice.

Ingredients:

1/4 cup olive oil
1/4 cup dijon mustard
2 tablespoons honey
2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt

Directions:

In a mixing bowl, combine all of the dressing ingredients and whisk well to combine.

Fries

We just bought an air fryer. Do you have one? Ours is a Ninja and it’s great. So far we’ve put in a few things to test out the time and see how it works. I made these potatoes in the oven a few weeks ago and I wanted to see how it worked in the air fryer.

Here’s the recipe.

Oven Fries

TOTAL TIME: Prep: 10 min. Bake: 40 min. YIELD: 4 servings.

Ingredients

4 medium potatoes
1 tablespoon olive oil
2-1/2 teaspoons paprika
3/4 teaspoon salt
3/4 teaspoon garlic powder

Directions
1. Preheat oven to 400°F. Cut each potato into 12 wedges. In a large bowl, combine oil, paprika, salt and garlic powder. Add potatoes; toss to coat.

2. Transfer to a 15″ x 10″ x 1″ baking pan coated with cooking spray. Bake 40-45 minutes or until tender, turning once.

I put these in the air fryer this time at 375°F for 17 minutes. I initially put them in for 10 minutes and then I flipped them all and started it again for 7 minutes to check it. The book that came with the air fryer said at least 20 minutes, so I knew at least to check it.
