roasted potatoes with green onions and crumbly cheese
your new favorite potato side dish
Ingredients:
Potatoes (most varieties work)
Extra virgin olive oil
Good salt
Pepper
Fresh green onions
Crumbly cheese of your preference- I have used both feta and blue cheese.
How to:
Preheat your oven to 400 degrees.
Cut your potatoes into pieces about 1”x1”x1/8”.
Coat them in oil evenly- enough to coat them, but not enough to puddle up.
Spread in a single layer on a baking sheet covered in parchment paper. Sprinkle with salt and pepper.
Bake for about 20 minutes, or until cooked through and golden around the edges.
While the potatoes cook, chop your green onions and set them aside.
Cool the potatoes enough that they won’t melt the cheese.
Combine potatoes, crumbled cheese, and chopped green onions in a serving bowl. Enjoy!
As for the logistics and nutrition of it…
This dish takes about 40 minutes to make, all told. I didn’t include measurements; you can scale it all to your liking.
We made this with some very fresh local red potatoes that were given to us (with the dirt still on them, no less!), and they were absolutely phenomenal. I always loved this recipe with regular grocery store potatoes, but it was amazing how quality sourcing takes a dish to a whole new level.
Potatoes are a nutritious source of carbohydrates, thus a great way to fuel an active lifestyle. The oil and cheese balances the dish out for more stable, longer term energy thanks to the fat and protein contributions.
