My next two posts are potato recipes. We're stereotypical Irish...we LOVE our potatoes! Most of the time, potatoes are our dinner starch, so I always need to keep things new and fresh so we don't get caught up in a hum-drum dinner funk! This was partially inspired by Giada De Laurentiis, and my favorite book, The Comfort Food Diet Cookbook, but with my own spin on it. I bought a lot of sour cream, and I wanted a cross between Giada's delicious looking roasted potatoes and a baked potato, just so I could use the sour cream! What lengths I go to to not waste food! Anyway, these came out AMAZING! We didn't even need the sour cream, and Eoin absolutely loved them!
