Parmesan Garlic Roasted Potatos

I wish I could take credit for this recipe, but I can't. This recipe was originally on the Fuller Brush corporate blog, it is so good I'm posting it here!

Makes 6 servings


Ingredients:
2 pounds red potatoes
1/3 cup olive oil
1  teaspoons salt
1 teaspoon black pepper
1.5 tablespoons minced garlic (0r 4 cloves)
1.5 teaspoons fresh parsley
1.5 teaspoons fresh rosemary
1 teaspoon thyme
1.5 tablespoons parmesan cheese


Directions:
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Slice the potatoes in halves or quarters (try to make evenly sized pieces). Place the potatoes in the stoneware dish and mix in the olive oil, salt, pepper, rosemary, thyme, parmesan and garlic. Toss until the potatoes are evenly coated and well mixed. Place your stoneware dish in the oven and bake for 30-45 minutes or until browned. Toss once or twice during the baking process. If the potatoes aren't browned enough at the 30 minute mark, remove the lid and bake uncovered. Remove the potatoes from the oven and garnish with parsley. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Add a little extra parmesan if desired.

Applesauce-Pumpkin Bread

If you made a loaf (or 2) of my Pumpkin Bread you'll notice this recipe is almost the same.  I use vegetable oil instead of butter, cut the amount of oil in half and add some applesauce.  In the Pumpkin Bread recipe I said you could use 1 cup sugar (or more, to taste).  In this recipe stick to 1 cup, no more, due to the sweetness of the applesauce.

 Try it, I think you'll like it!


1/2 of a 15oz can of Pumpkin (Approx 1 Cup)
2 eggs
1/4 cup vegetable oil
1/2 cup applesauce
1/2 cup apple juice (use water if you don't have juice)
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup sugar
2 cups flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 tablespoon pumpkin pie spice mix

You can add a half teaspoon of salt.  I don't add salt to many things, but you decide for yourself.

Preheat oven to 350*F.  Grease a loaf pan.

In a large bowl, combine the first 6 ingredients (the wet ones).  Mix together with your mixer until well blended.

In another bowl, Add the remaining ingredients (the dry ones) and mix well with a wire whisk.

Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing as you go.  Continue mixing until blended.

Cook for 60 mins at 350*F or until a toothpick or sharp knife inserted comes out clean.

Let cool in the pan for 10 - 15 minutes, then turn onto a wire rack to finish cooling.

Enjoy!

Happy Thanksgiving
