The Plan It-Don’t Panic challenge is really helping me to stretch our resources and discover new recipes.
I cooked a whole chicken for the first time last week–yes–the first time EVER! I used my crock pot, and I could not BELIEVE how incredibly easy (and economical) it was!
I got 3 whole meals out of that chicken!
Without further ado, here’s a recipe for Wednesday’s side dish–easy oven-roasted potatoes–and this week’s meal plan!

Easy Oven-Roasted Potatoes
Ingredients
- 3-4 potatoes (red is good, but I use whatever I have!)
- 1-2 Tbsp. olive or grapeseed oil
- spices: rosemary, Italian seasoning, oregano, paprika--whatever floats your boat!
Instructions
- Cut potatoes into wedges (leave skins on!). Place in a bowl with lid or/a glass bowl.
- Pour oil evenly over potatoes and sprinkle with desired amount of spices. If using bowl with lid, secure lid on and shake potatoes to coat with oil and spices. If using a glass bowl, stir everything together well to coat.
- Place potatoes in a baking dish and bake on 400 for about 30 minutes, or until potatoes skins are crispy and the insides are tender.
These are DELICIOUS, EASY and have been one of my hubby’s favorite side dishes since we got married!
Enjoy!
