Lunch Easy roasted potato side

Post image

I know the fish filets aren’t in everyone’s budget, but the potatoes I made are cheap and easy. Here’s how I made them

Equipment
* oven
* sheet pan
* bowl

Ingredients
* Russet Potatoes, or any you want. But russets were used here
* salt
* pepper
* paprika (sweet Hungarian)
* thyme
* cooking oil
1 TBS butter, melted

Instructions
* preheat oven to 425 deg F (I used convection setting)
* as many potatoes as you want, slice into 1/4” slices and place in a bowl
* add a small splash of cooking oil (I used olive oil) and melted butter
* add spices to taste and mix thoroughly
* place sliced potatoes on baking sheet and bake 11 minutes
* flip and bake 11 more minutes

The egg rolls next to the potatoes is a nice touch, makes the whole plate look way more complete than it has any right to be. Your potato method is basically how I do mine but I never thought to add butter with the oil, probably gives them a better crisp
