Roasted Creole Potatoes Recipes

ROASTED CREOLE POTATOES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
• Place the potatoes, sausage, green pepper, and onion into a high-sided roasting pan. Drizzle with olive oil, and toss to coat. Sprinkle with paprika, Creole seasoning, garlic powder, and black pepper; toss again to coat.
• Roast in preheated oven until the potatoes are tender and beginning to turn golden brown, 45 minutes to 1 hour. Stir occasionally during roasting.

CRISPY ROAST POTATOES

Steps:

• A day or two before roasting, prepare the potatoes. You need chunks or whole potatoes roughly the size of a clementine, so peel and leave whole, halve or quarter accordingly. Place the potatoes in a large pan of cold, salted water - salting is important, so don't skip it. Bring the water to the boil and simmer gently for about 15 mins until the potatoes are cooked all the way through but not on the brink of collapse. Gently drain the potatoes in a colander, but do not shake them or ruffle them up - just leave them to drain and cool. Once there is no more steam coming off them, place on a tray in a single layer and put them in the fridge, uncovered, until ready to roast.
• Heat oven to 200C/180C/gas 6 (or put them in when you turn it up for the turkey). Pour oil into a deep roasting tin to give an even layer of about 0.5cm. Place the tin in the oven for 5 mins to heat the oil, then remove from the oven. One at a time and working methodically (starting at one corner of the roasting tin and lining them up as you go) place each potato in the oil and use a spoon to turn it so it's completely coated. Don't worry about the oil cooling down too much. Once all the potatoes are in the tin in a single layer, not touching, place the tin in the oven and cook for 40 mins, undisturbed.
• Remove from the oven and - again, meticulously - turn each potato. Return to the oven for 20 mins, then repeat the potato-turning process again. If, at this stage, your other side dishes allow you to, turn the oven up to 220C/200C fan/gas 7 and give the potatoes a final 20 mins. By now you should have potatoes that are everything a roastie should be: deep, golden and crunchy on the outside with an extra-fluffy middle - just sprinkle with a little sea salt to serve.

VERY EASY CREOLE POTATOES

Steps:

• Set oven to 400 degrees.
• Spray Pam into a 11X9 glass baking dish (potatoes will stick without it).
• Peel potatoes and cut to desired size.
• Lay potatoes in one layer in baking dish.
• Pour olive oil evenly over cut up potatoes.
• Sprinkle creole seasoning and parsley flakes to taste.
• Lightly stir to evenly coat all pieces.
• Cover with aluminum foil and place in oven.
• Bake for 30 minutes.
• Remove from oven, uncover and lightly stir.
• Replace in oven uncovered and bake for 15 minutes longer or till all pieces are soft (depending on size of potato pieces).
• Tony Chachere's Original Creole Seasoning contains salt, red pepper, garlic and other spices. Probably "secret" spices. You can substitute a low salt variety or maybe another brand. Mrs. Dash might work. Personally I need salt on potatoes.
• If you are in a hurry, which I usually am, you can microvave the potatoes in the glass dish for 10 minutes on high and then pop in the oven for 10 minutes to brown. It is not as good this way, but you said you were in a hurry.
