Chili Cheese Roasted Potatoes

Move over French fries, there's a new spud in town. These chili cheese roasted potatoes are crispy and delicious.

Prep : 5 minutes mins

Cook : 20 minutes mins

Total Time: 20 minutes mins

Servings: 4 people

Ingredients

• 2 lbs potatoes 5-6 medium sized
• 1 1/2 Tbsp canola oil
• 2 Tbsp chili cheese seasoning

Instructions

• Preheat oven to 400°F (205°C).
• Wash and slice potatoes about 1/4" thick for crispy potatoes or 1/2" thick for soft centers. Just cut them all the same thickness. Peeling is optional.
• Toss potato slices with oil and seasoning mix.
• Spread sliced potatoes in a single layer on a large cookie sheet.
• Roast for 15 to 20 minutes until golden crispy. Watch carefully in the last 5 minutes as they may turn from golden crispy to burnt quite quickly.
• Enjoy right out of the oven for maximum crispiness.

Notes

Choose russet potatoes for a soft, tender interior. Waxy potatoes (red or yellow) will get crispy all the way through.

TIPS FOR ROASTED POTATOES

Cut in Even Slices

Whether you like thick 1/2″ or thin 1/4″ slices doesn’t really matter – the key is to keep them consistent so they’ll roast evenly. If you like potatoes that are crispy throughout – slice them thin, if you like a creamy potato texture, slice them thick.

Use High Heat

Use high heat to roast your potatoes. This will help them develop a nice crispy edge on the bottom and top.

Coat in Oil or Fat

Coat your potatoes in oil to prevent them from sticking to the baking sheet and to help develop a crispy outside. If you want to add extra flavour try using the fat from a pan of fried bacon to coat your potatoes. This is not a healthy alternative, but it is tasty! And I do believe we can enjoy all foods in balance and moderation.

Work Fast with Potatoes

Potatoes will oxidize and turn dark very quickly once peeled or sliced. You need to work quickly when peeling and slicing potatoes to coating them in oil. Alternatively, put peeled/sliced potatoes in a bowl of water while you’re working to prevent discolouring. When you’re ready to use them, pat them dry well so the oil will stick.

Try other Seasoning Blends

Chili cheese roasted potatoes are fantastic, but don’t let that stop you from trying other seasoning blends! Try these Rosemary Roasted Potatoes with rosemary finishing salt. I think I’ll try using Italian Seasoning next time.
