French Entree
French Roasted Potatoes
INGREDIENTS
2 small red potatoes
8 small brown potatoes
4 garlic cloves
1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
1 tablespoon herbes de Provence
2 teaspoons Sunny Paris seasoning
PREPARATION
Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Cut potatoes into halves. Mince garlic cloves. Place potatoes into roasting pan. Pour olive oil over potatoes. Turn potatoes until thoroughly coated. Sprinkle garlic, herbes de Provence, and Sunny Paris seasoning over potatoes. Turn potatoes until coated with oil and spices.
Put roasting pan in oven. Bake for 1 hour or until they are fork tender. Stir potatoes three times while roasting so they don’t burn on one side.
Now you have those tasty potatoes you always admired in fancy restaurants. C’est bien.
TIDBITS
1) Sunny Paris seasoning consists of purple shallots, French basil, French tarragon, chervil, bay leaf, and dill weed.
2) The air we breathe is primarily nitrogen and oxygen.
3) The main ingredient in people is water.
4) This tidbit didn’t make sense. It’s gone.
5) We humans share quite a few of the same chromosomes as a banana.
6) Which prompted Freud to speculate about that fruit.
7)) You can buy a banana slicer, called the Hutzler 571 Banana Slicer, on www.amazon.com. Read the reviews. They’re hilarious.
