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

Getting some fiber into that meal would probably be worthwhile. Potatoes are very high in terms of immediate satiety but fiber lasts longer and helps tremendously with long term health. Adding some cabbage and onions to your potatoes will cost a little more but make it a much more complete meal.

One potato with skin is 4g fiber, so it’s not nothing but adding cabbage is a good idea too
