This is probably very unhealthy and processed, but I hate to admit it was pretty darn good.  Next time I want to make all of the processed ingredients myself.

Parmesan Red Potatoes

IMG_1582

Ingredients

  • 3-4 cup Red potatoes
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 2 clove garlic
  • 1 tablespoon oregano
  • ½ cup Parmesan
  • 2 tablespoon Fresh chives
  • In a large skillet, heat oil over medium heat. Add in garlic and potatoes and saute until potatoes begin to soften, Sprinkle in cheese and oregano and continue to cook until potatoes begin to brown on both sides. Remove from heat and serve warm.

Our Review

This was pretty bad.  The directions are not complete, the potatoes need to be cooked much longer than the recipe says – BEFORE adding the seasoning.  They were still raw and hard and we tried to put them back in the pan with more oil but the seasoning would just burn… maybe we’ll try again someday – with a lot more time spent letting the potatoes cook.
