Frequently Asked Questions
Why did you use Baby Red Potatoes?
I like the creamy taste of red potatoes. They hold up well in the par-boil and roasting processes and the skins are thin enough that they crisp up easily.
Can I use another type of potato?
Yukon Gold and Russet potatoes are what I can the “work horses” of potatoes. They are inexpensive and you can eat the skins. They can be used in almost any recipe that calls for potatoes.
Krazy Kitchen Mom Tips
- The potatoes can be par-boiled a day before roasting them. Make sure they are completely cool after they are boiled. They should be stored in an airtight container. Bring them to room temperature before roasting them.
- Change up the herbs and spices…add some cayenne pepper or cajun seasoning for a spicy bit. Add fresh chopped thyme and rosemary for a deeper savory herb flavor.
- Leftovers will last 2-3 days in an airtight container in the refrigerator. Microwave or re-bake to heat them up.
