Roasted Potatoes

It was way too hot to make these (it's 95 degrees here)...but I did it anyway because they sounded so good.

Ingredients:

• 2 large potatoes
• 1 medium onion (brown or sweet)
• Olive Oil spray
• Season Salt
• Black Pepper
• Garlic Powder
• Mrs. Dash (original)

Pre-heat oven to 450 degrees. Wash, peel and cube potatoes. Dice onion (not too small though). Place potatoes and onion in a large bowl. Spray with several sprays of olive oil (enough to coat). sprinkle in a generous amount of the spices and toss until coated. Place on a baking sheet in a single layer. Cook 10 minutes then turn. Cook 10 more minutes and turn again. Then 10 more minutes.

A few ideas to jazz them up a bit...I added Parmesan cheese the last 5 minutes of cooking time. You could use shredded cheddar cheese, bacon bits, and drizzle with sour cream (this is what I am going to do next time).

Cheers!

Bacon Wrapped Baked Potato

One of my all time favorite foods...the potato. There are a billion things you can do with a potato, and baked potatoes are one of my very favorite ways to make this delicious food. This recipe is a combination of something I saw on Pinterest and some potatoes made by Nick's step-dad. They turned out delicious!

Ingredients

• Large baking potato
• 4 onion slices (I used sweet onion)
• 4 slices thin maple bacon
• butter
• salt, pepper, garlic powder, Mrs Dash and olive oil

Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Wash potato really well (scrub the skin). Make 4 deep slices in the potato. Stuff butter, spices and an onion slice in each potato slice. Spray a little olive oil on a piece of tin foil. Wrap the potato with the bacon slices, then place on foil and wrap tight. Cook in oven for 3 hours. TIP Put the potato on the upper oven rack, then place a cookie sheet on the lower rack so that the drippings don't mess the oven.

Top with your favorite toppings...sour cream, cheese, salsa....

Cheers!
