Transcripts
Tom Popatis: Hi! I am Tom Popatis. Today, were in my home and were going to be doing some potato dishes. What were going to start out with, were going to do roasted potatoes, a very simple dish. Its very easy to put together. Something you can make for your family quick, easy about 45 minutes, no time, no effort.
Were going to start out. Ive just got some roasted potatoes. We wash them off, wash them really good, get all the dirt out of the pores and essentially were not even going to peel them. Were just going to go with skins on. If you like, you can certainly peel; take the time to peel these if you dont want them, but actually these work pretty good and you can use russets, you can use reds, red potatoes are really good like this. What I am going to do, I am just kind of take and cut my potato in half. Were going to lay it like that; were going to cut it in half again. So, were actually quartering it and then were just going to cut chunks about three quarters to one inch like this. Were going to set those aside, take the next one, just run your knife through, keep your fingers back.
Were going to put these in a bowl and then we have a couple more that we have to do and what I like to figure for the number of potatoes for people, is if you have four people, if youre feeding four, use four potatoes, its kind of like a bake potato. If youre going to have a bake potato, you have a whole potato. So, figure on one potato per person and that should generally be enough. So, right now were going to go ahead, cut these up and then well be back to put the dish together.
