Need a red potatoes recipe

IreneAdler

Hey--I'm looking for a healthy way to cook for myself. I just bought a bag of red potatoes and need a quick way to cook a couple for dinners so I I don't exceed my calorie limit. Frying seems like a bad idea.

Oven roast with a little olive oil, salt and rosemary. SO good and about as low-cal as potatoes get:)

1 med potato + tsp olive oil + spice of choice (i like rosemary for a toned down meal, jerk seasoning for some spice) + half hour in oven at 400 degrees= yum for about 150 cals

Exactly what I was going to suggest! I will also add garlic and chop an onion &/or peppers if I have them. I roast them at 425 for about 45 minutes - it caramelizes the onions and peppers, super yummy!

I cut them into bite sized pieces, put them in a large Ziplock bag and toss them with a little olive oil, a little salt and pepper, and plenty of garlic powder, paprika and Italian seasoning. I put them on a cookie sheet with parchment (so they don't stick) in the oven at about 350 until they're soft when pierced with a fork.

This is the best way to do it! The family loves it. Sometimes I'll bakewith the potatoes and then saute up some asparagus, zuccinni, squash and onions - so Yummy! Oh and a bit of Santa Maria Seasoning Salt (has 1/3 sodium than salt - it's friggin' sweet)

Yes, this!

Then the next time add a squeeze of lemon for something different!

And another good one (you can increase the cauliflower in this and it is still great)

I made these for my wife and her friends at a Wine Tasting Party a couple weeks ago. It was a huge success.

Stuffed Small Red Potato Shrimp Appetizer


small red potatoes (about 10), unpeeled
extra-virgin olive oil
Salt and pepper, to taste
1 teaspoon dried thyme
1/2 cup sour cream
1/2 cup cream cheese
4 bacon slices, cooked crisp, crumbled
1/2 teaspoon seasoning salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
2 teaspoons chives, minced


Bring red potatoes to a boil, simmer until fork-tender but not mushy; put in cold water to stop the cooking and drain. Cut potatoes in half without tearing the skins. Scoop out and discard centers of each small red potato using a melon baller leaving 1/4-inch walls; cut a thin slice off bottom of each small red potato to sit level.


Combine in a small bowl the sour cream, cream cheese, crumbled bacon, seasoning salt, pepper and chives; spoon into potatoes.

I topped each one with a large prawn that I had wrapped in bacon, sprinkled with brown sugar and broiled in the oven.

Yummmy sounds delicious can't wait to try with the Italian seasoning. I do something close to this but without the Italian seasoning

Halibut & Potatoes:

4 Servings.

Info per serving:
Calories:333
Carbs: 36
Fat: 7
Protein: 31
Sugar: 3
Sodium: 142

- 1.5 lbs of Alaskan halibut
- Potatoes, chopped into 1/2 chunks
- 10 spears of Asparagus (chopped into 1 inch pieces)
- Scallions (chopped finely)
- 2 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
- 1/4 tsp salt (skip if you want to cut your sodium intake)
- 1/4 tsp black pepper
- 1 tsp tarragon

1) Preheat oven to 400 - 425.
2) Cut up 8 12" x 12" pieces of parchment paper. Arrange four of the pieces on a baking sheet or two.
3) Divide the chopped potatoes, asparagus, and scallions into 1/4's and place in the center of each parchment piece.
4) Arrange a fillet on halibut ontop of the potatoes, asparagus and scallions.
5) Season each with the salt, pepper and tarragon.
6) Pour 1/2 tbsp atop each of the halibut filets.
7) Take remaining parchment pieces and place over the others. Roll the edges up to form a seal on all sides (should be little square-shaped packets now).
8) Place in oven for 20 or so minutes. Remove and serve.


I need to check the baking time later...I'm doing this all from memory.
