VERY EASY CREOLE POTATOES



Very Easy Creole Potatoes image

I get so wrapped up in making "interesting" food that sometimes I forget that something so simple can taste so wonderful! I am sure there must be a version of this somewhere, too easy not to be, but I just made this up one day to go with baked chicken thighs. My 9 year old daughter said, "YUMMY" Not too spicy.

Time 55m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 5

4 -6 russet potatoes
2 tablespoons light olive oil
1 teaspoon tony chachere's original creole seasoning
1 teaspoon dried parsley flakes
cooking spray

Steps:

  • Set oven to 400 degrees.
  • Spray Pam into a 11X9 glass baking dish (potatoes will stick without it).
  • Peel potatoes and cut to desired size.
  • Lay potatoes in one layer in baking dish.
  • Pour olive oil evenly over cut up potatoes.
  • Sprinkle creole seasoning and parsley flakes to taste.
  • Lightly stir to evenly coat all pieces.
  • Cover with aluminum foil and place in oven.
  • Bake for 30 minutes.
  • Remove from oven, uncover and lightly stir.
  • Replace in oven uncovered and bake for 15 minutes longer or till all pieces are soft (depending on size of potato pieces).
  • Tony Chachere's Original Creole Seasoning contains salt, red pepper, garlic and other spices. Probably "secret" spices. You can substitute a low salt variety or maybe another brand. Mrs. Dash might work. Personally I need salt on potatoes.
  • If you are in a hurry, which I usually am, you can microvave the potatoes in the glass dish for 10 minutes on high and then pop in the oven for 10 minutes to brown. It is not as good this way, but you said you were in a hurry.

CREOLE PORK STEW



Creole Pork Stew image

This is a recipe I found on the internet and it was different than my usual method of making stew. I never used tomato paste, worcestershire sauce, sage, oregano or bay leaves in any of my stews so I decided to try this one out. Well, let me tell you no one could have been more pleased than I was after tasting this. This will be the recipe I use from now on when I make pork stew. Be sure not to leave your roux unattended - it must be stirred constantly so it doesn't burn. If you see black flecks it's burnt and the only thing you can do is throw it out and start over or it will have a very bitter taste. If you have trouble with burning you might want to lower your fire a bit and cook it over lower heat. If you're not familiar with andouille it is a very highly smoked and seasoned sausage that adds a tremendous amount of flavor. In fact, I was amazed at the difference in the taste of the gravy after I added the pork and andouille. If you do use andouille be careful not to add too much or it will overpower your dish. One link or 1/3 lb was plenty for this dish. You can use any type of pork - I had some boneless pork chops in the freezer so I just cubed those. I would recommend using a lean cut of pork as you don't want your stew to be too greasy. When pork loins (not tenderloins) go on sale this would be the perfect opportunity to make this dish. Naturally, living in South Louisiana, we serve this over rice and a big scoop of potato salad on the side finishes it off perfectly.
