Baked southwest potatoes is one of the easiest side dishes I prepare. There is literally no measuring to do, the potatoes are cooked and served all in the same dish, and the preparation is easily modified to be either dinner for one or a dish for twelve.
This vegetable dish combines southwestern flavors with hearty ingredients to make the perfect side serving. Even the most novice cook can prepare this dish and serve to your guests, it may look like a serious culinary masterpiece, but it’s not. Five minutes of prep time and continuous baking is the key to this recipe.
Ingredients:
4 – 6 petite red potatoes (This depends on number of people you are serving, for the purpose of this recipe, all ingredients will be suitable for 4 servings.)
Extra virgin olive oil
Garlic salt
Southwestern seasoning (There are many varieties of seasonings that can be found in the spice aisle of the grocery, just use your favorite.)
Grated parmesan cheese
Preparation:
Cut potatoes into chunks. (With petite reds, I normally get four chunks per potato.)
Place the potatoes in a large bowl, drizzle with extra virgin olive oil and season with garlic salt and southwest seasoning. Stir or shake the potatoes to ensure that they are covered by the ingredients.
Set aside and let rest for 10 minutes.
While the potatoes rest, spray a medium iron skillet with non-stick spray and place in the oven at 350 to warm.
