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.

Pastel de Huevo

OK, so it’s a quiche. But “Mexican Quiche” just didn’t sound right. I’ve already thrown in an Italian version in this book. I don’t want to do even more to insult the Francophiles. So, we’ll just call it an egg pie. If you have a Mexican market nearby, purchase your chorizo there (unless you make your own). Substitute queso cotija or queso chihuahua for a little more depth in the flavor profile. Leftover salsa can be used for a topping on scrambled eggs or a dip with chips later in the day.

Baked Potato Quiche

I call this recipe “Comfort quiche.” It’s perfect for a cold December evening. The great thing about quiche is that it can be prepared in advance and held cold in the refrigerator or frozen up to a couple of weeks. When the holidays are hectic and the house is crowded, this quiche is perfect as a lap meal in front of the fireplace served alongside a light salad.
