Super Crispy Potato on the outside, Soft and delicious on the inside. Try and say no to this dish I dare you
If I had a food weakness (besides Sour Patch Kids) it would be potatoes. Any type there is so discrimination going on here. How can you not I mean just think of all the endless options you can do with a simple potato. Mashed, scalloped, roasted, grilled, twice baked, fried, hash browns, Au Gratin, dumplings and of course these tasty Hasselback Potatoes.
Don’t even get me started on truffled potatoes ….
Right now I am in Beautiful Whistler, B.C and I can honestly say that I don’t want to leave. The weather has been perfect although in typical Vancouver fashion everyone is complaining that it is too hot. The temperature has barely gone over 30 degrees it has been staying at a constant 27 so not quite sure why people are complaining. Winter comes and everyone says it’s too cold and they can’t wait for Summer and then Summer comes and it is too hot and everyone wants it to be fall. Makes no sense. Were a bunch of complainers, but we do it politely.
Like I said before one thing that has been so amazing is all the farmers markets. Its not that we don’t get them in the Caribbean it is just entirely different produce up here. The berries and the corn are what I look forward to most. Another thing that I got to try that for some reason I have never tried before is Swiss Chard. Also, for some reason I thought this was a fall vegetable but it was all over the market so I couldn’t not buy some. The end result was a beautiful swiss chard tart, recipe to come soon.
So, I have been trying to cook as much as I can as we only have 3 weeks left here in Canada until we head back down to Bonaire, our new home. Yes, I realize that this recipe is all about Potatoes and isn’t exactly a vegetable that is hard to find but I have been sitting on this recipe for so long and I really wanted to share it. Plus the photos are just so pretty aren’t they ….
And you can never be short of an extra potato recipe right?
I can’t believe how long this post has been taking me to write. I am so distracted by the olympics at the moment. Its playing in the background and I can’t help but look up every 2 seconds. And its just playing highlights on the news and you know the news they take 3 moments and play them over and over in a loop but whatever its still exciting. And now this is this new controversy of did these Olympic Swimmers from the USA actually get robber or were they making it up? Why would someone lie about that though? Who knows …
Omg it just happened again I just lost another 5 minutes.
Concentrate, Concentrate
Ok so lets talk about why these have become one of my new favourites. One of the best things about roasted potatoes is that they have that super crispy outside and a mashed potato like texture on the inside. Double score. These have something very similar. The tops of the potatoes are crispy and has crunchy parmesan cheese and the insides are fluffy and soft. So delicious
I also don’t know why these have taken me sooooo long to make. I have seen this recipe so many times and I love potatoes so it doesn’t really make any sense.
So many reasons to make these here are a few reasons why …
- Super Easy
- Crispy
- Delicious
- Quick
- Cheesy
This is also such a great recipe to make for a crowd. Just cut up as many potatoes as you need then stick it in the oven and forget about it for the next hour. Simple
