While I love potatoes in most any form, I’m especially fond of having them oven-roasted. Here is a Step-by-Step tutorial to help you make them at home. You will need whole potatoes,
onions,
chicken broth, garlic, salt/pepper, and oil.
Assemble all of your ingredients. Wash, peel, and cube the potatoes, then fill a 9×13 Pyrex.
I used 7 medium-sized Russets.
Peel and dice two onions. I used yellow, any type is fine. Add to the potatoes, along with salt/pepper to taste, 1 cup chicken broth, 1 Tbs chopped garlic and 2 Tbs of oil (I used Veggie, Olive oil is equally good). You may also use herbs—parsley, crushed rosemary, thyme. I didn’t today.
You should now have something that resembles this:
Put it into a 400-degree oven. Check after 30 minutes and stir. Cook for an additional 45 minutes. (Remember, all cooking times are approximate!) After 1 hour and 15 minutes of total cooking time, you will have something truly delicious!
As you can see, the finished product fills an entire dinner plate. For average-sized eaters, that will be at least 4 servings, provided you have a main course and other sides. Typically, I serve this with chicken or steak. It’s great for any meat meal or with fish. If you’re serving a dairy meal, simply omit the chicken broth and use water instead.
