| Fanned Potatoes with Sirloin Roast and Brussels Sprouts |
Hello last Monday of
the month! It's a holiday, I'm on vacation, and I'm enjoying my time
away. But don't worry, before I left for vacation I whipped up my
recipe for Secret Recipe Club!
I drooled over my
assigned blog this month, Lynsey Lou's. She's got a great selection of
sides, pastas, and desserts. Frankly, I could keep going about the
deliciousness, but I want to introduce you to these fabulous fanned
potatoes I chose.
 |
| Be very careful slicing those potatoes, most likely you'll go completely through the potato a few times. Don't sweat the small stuff. |
adapted from Lynsey Lou
1 russet potato
1 onion, thinly sliced
1 onion, thinly sliced
butter
salt
pepper
garlic (if fresh,
minced, otherwise powder)
- Preheat the oven to 400ºF.
- Thinly slice the potato, not quite all the way through so that the potato is able to fan out.
- Cover the potato with pats of butter (1-2 tablespoons), and sprinkle with salt, pepper, and garlic to taste. Drape over onions if desired.
- Roast the potato until cooked through, about 1 hour.
- Enjoy!
THOUGHTS:
I love potatoes, and
these didn't disappoint. These potatoes are easy, inexpensive, and
have a lovely mouthfeel. They are crunchy on the outside and tender
on the inside. The only thing that would make these better would be
more fat, preferably in the forms of bacon and cheese. But if you are
going for a low fat healthy version, feel free to just use butter.

How simple....and I bet yummy!! I agree the possibilities are endless with these.
ReplyDeleteI often slice my potatoes all the way through to BBQ them (wrapped in foil), it's a great idea to put onions with it, season it, and add more stuffing in the middle. I'll definitely try that next time I make some! :)
ReplyDeleteThese look great! :) I will have to give them a try sometime!
ReplyDeleteOh these are so pretty - I love how elegant they look all sliced that way. Knowing me though, I am certain I'll go all the way through at least a time or two.
ReplyDeleteThese are perfect and so pretty!
these look great - a nice twist on the typical mashed potatoes or baked potatoes that i normally make. will have to try these! by the way, make sure you pop by my blog when you're back in town - i got you for the SRC this month!
ReplyDeleteThese are great! Want to know a hint on how to cut them? Place 2 wooden chopsticks on the board, like railroad tracks, and put the potato on top. As you slice through, your knife will stop at the chopstick, and won't slice through. Voila! (visiting from Group D)
ReplyDeleteLove the idea of onion stuffing!!
ReplyDeleteI have ear-marked these! Fellow group D member
