I used to roast potatoes at least once a week, then I stopped. I don’t know why. Tomorrow, I’m planning a roast potato dinner, but I couldn’t find the recipe because I never posted it. I transferred my thousands of blog photos to another location, so it took me some time to locate these photos. Where do you store the thousands of photos you take? I hope you’re enjoying your weekend!

Hmmmm, who doesn’t like roasted potatoes?? They are the BEST! – Kat
They are addictive. When I start eating, I don’t stop. I make roast very occasionally.

I roast potatoes once a week, too. And good for 2 days. My favorite is with Cajun seasoning. This looks delicious – very simple and easy to prepare!
Next time I shall try with Cajun seasoning. I’m still dreaming about your potatoes. Have a lovely week!

I am sure you’ll love it. I make my Cajun seasoning at home. I haven’t tried the one from the store. 🙂 Thanks, Liz!
Please, can I have the recipe? Thanks!

That’s how I do my roast potatoes too! I love Rosemary so a light sprinkle and now and then if I’m feeling extravagant, I will add a little dab of butter for a wee bit of extra richness. I wonder if sweet potatoes could take this kind if baking or would they just become mushy? I often do up a pan of roasted rootegetsbles the same way. So good! Happy Sunday Liz!
Hi Sandy
Pleasure to see you. it’s raining cats and dogs here….LOL. what an unpleasant turn of weather. I managed to go for my morning walk before the rain started.
I don’t know what the secret to roasting or frying sweet potatoes is. Mine always turn out soft and mushy. I must do a bit of google search to see what I can unearth. I will let you know if I discover the secret to roasting crispy sweet potatoes!!!
Have a very pleasant week!
