Roasted New Potatoes

Crispy on the outside, fluffy on the inside, these roasted potatoes are the perfect side dish for any meal. With just a handful of simple ingredients, you can achieve golden, flavorful potatoes that pair well with everything from roasted chicken to grilled vegetables. This is a supper staple at the St. John house. On steak night I cook these potatoes.

Ingredients

3 lbs. Red B-size potatoes, quartered
½ cup Extra virgin olive oil
1 Tbl Kosher salt
½ tsp Fresh ground black pepper
1 tsp Fresh rosemary, finely chopped

Instructions

Preheat oven to 350.

Combine all ingredients in a large mixing bowl. Make sure all the potatoes are coated evenly. Transfer to a baking sheet and place in the oven for 1 hour, carefully turning the potatoes with a spatula every 15 minutes.

Serve immediately.

Never been shy about my love for apples, especially Honey Crisp and Fuji. Apple pie’s always been my go-to, but this recipe takes the best part of apple pie and turns it into breakfast.

This crust has been the base for countless savory pies over the years. The key is keeping the butter ice-cold and giving the dough enough time to rest in the refrigerator. For a little twist, add 1 tablespoon of freshly cracked black pepper or 2 tablespoons of finely chopped chives to the flour mixture.

Denver Omelet Quiche

I love quiche. To me, it’s great for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. In the morning, it’s perfect with fresh fruit. At lunch or dinner, it pairs well with a light salad. Never use the pre-shredded cheese in plastic bags from the dairy case. It's dusted with cellulose, which messes with the texture and flavor. Always grate cheese from a block. It’s an extra step but it will save money and taste so much better.
