Crack Potatoes

I called this recipe "crack" after my husband literally almost pouted when they were all gone and he has since requested them daily, with EVERY meal.

So the name was born by my husbands addictive actions to these heavenly little potato morsels. And the best part is...they are SUPER easy.


Crack Potatoes (original recipe)

2-3 large potatoes, washed, dried, and diced.
2-3 Tbsp Olive Oil
1 package of Onion Soup Mix



Preheat your oven to 450
Toss the diced potatoes in a glass baking dish and coat well with the olive oil and the soup mix.
Bake in a 450 degree oven for around 40 minutes.

**I'm not a good recipe follower. There is usually something that I change about all the recipes I find. Sometimes its just omitting seasonings to my taste or sometimes I just change it all together based on the ingredients I have on had. This is one of those recipes where you can make 10 pounds or 10 pieces - its so versatile.
For my version - its just me and the hubs at dinner, so 2-3 potatoes it just too much. Below is my alternate version of this recipe for two servings (hearty servings, remember these are like crack, so seconds are suggested)



My Version:

1 large potato, washed, dried, and diced.
1 Tbsp Olive Oil
3 Tbsp Onion Soup Mix (I saved the rest in a plastic storage bag for later this week)
1 tsp dried Parsley
1 tsp dried Oregano
2 tsp dried minced garlic (we like the extra garlic flavor these give)

Follow same cooking directions as above, however with only 1 potato, it doesn't take the full 40 minutes, unless you like very crispy potatoes.



They aren't the prettiest things to eat, but they sure are tasty!
