Easy Roast Potatoes



This is an easy and healthy way of making roast potatoes. It needs only half or even less than half the amount of oil usually used to make roast potatoes on the skillet. I  used a herb called Rosemary (seen in the photos like small twigs), just cause I had some. Its not required if you don't have it. It has a very strong taste, but smells good.

Ingredients:
  • Potatoes - Chopped into chucks (about 1 inch) How many ever u need.
  • Salt - 1 Tsp or to taste
  • Chili powder - 1 1tsp or to taste
  • Rosemary - 1/2 tsp (optional) 
  • Oil - 1 tblsp
Steps:

Step 1 - Brown potatoes in pan.
Step 2- Transfer to baking tray and bake for 10mins, at 375 & 400 degs
  • Preheat oven to 375 deg.
  • In a wide pan, heat 3/4th of the oil. When hot add potatoes and stir well till oil adheres to all the chunks.
  • Add salt and chili powder and stir well, again till all the potato chunks are coated well. with your finger, touch a chunk and taste the seasoning, if u feel you need more salt or chili powder add some. Add dry rosemary.
  • Stir ocassionally, let the potatoes brown at least on 2 sides.
  • Once ready transfer to an oiled baking tray. Cover with foil and bake for 5-7 mins.
  • Carefully remove the foil, it will let out a lot of steam. You can see if the potaoes are cooked by putting a knife thru it. If you want to cook it more, replace the foil and cook for few more mins.
  • When cooked, crank up the heat of the oven to 400 deg and place the tray back inside uncovered this time, for 5-7 mins. It will dry any moisture and make a a tasty roast.
  • Take it out and sprinkle some salt.
