What’s Cooking is a series in which I answer questions and share advice about food and cooking that you have but may be too shy to ask.
Hard as it is for some of us to believe, Christmas is just a little over 4 weeks away. I was reminded of it this week as emails came in requesting ideas and how-to for the big holiday meal. A repeated question was how to roast potatoes, so here goes.
Roast potatoes are a popular side dish for Sunday lunch and holiday meals, and they quickly disappear from a platter. Crisp on the outside, soft and fluffy on the inside, these large chunks of golden spuds are comfort food at its best. If they are flavoured with spices or herbs, oh man, you can be in danger of taking more than your fair share. When making roasted potatoes, make nuff!
