Yum: Garlic Potatolings

22 Comments

Hello, everyone! For a change, I'm posting about food tonight. Yey!


This is what we had for dinner last night. I followed *this Betty Crocker recipe.* This dish was originally called 'Garlic Oven Fries' but I decided to call it 'Garlic Potatolings' because I used small potatoes instead of medium ones. Well, mostly because I found the word potatolings (if there is such a word) too cute not to be used. Haha. Don't judge ;P


I didn't follow the recipe all the way through, though. I just looked at the ingredients and used what we had here at home. Read on to know how I cooked this :)

As I've said earlier, I used small potatoes for this. 


After washing them thoroughly and removing the bad bits, I cut the potatoes in half. 


If you're using medium or large potatoes, you can cut them into wedges instead.


I mixed the potatoes with just the right amount of olive oil to coat them all. No need to drown them.


Time for seasoning! I mixed the potatoes with salt, garlic powder and basil. 


I didn't really measure how much I put. I just estimated.

Before baking the potatoes, I transferred some of them to another baking pan so that they're not too crowded and would cook more quickly.


Then it's time to bake! I baked them for about 15 minutes at 260-270 deg C, stirring them halfway through the baking time.


It helps if you pre-heat the oven for about 3-5 mins. Pre-heating ensures that the oven is already at the right temperature by the time you put the potatoes in and helps them cook more quickly and evenly.

Finished product?

    The word potatolings are as cute as how minions looked in Despicable Me :) I think you should pour some melted cheese to your new creation to make it exponentially better. :)
