TATER ESSENTIALS: LEMONY PARMESAN POTATOES

Steps:

• 1. PREP/PREPARE
• 2. I love a good lemon/pepper spice, and usually will add more than what this recipe calls for. Basically, all it is, is finely chopped dried lemon zest, lemon salt, and pepper. Some brands add other ingredients, such as sugar, onion, and/or garlic salt, and celery seed. Look at the label... sometimes less is more. One of my favorite brands is Sauer's.
• 3. Gather your ingredients (mise en place).
• 4. Place a rack in the middle position, and preheat the oven to 400f (205c).
• 5. Wash and slice the taters in half, throw them into a bowl with all the other ingredients, and toss.
• 6. Place them in an ovenproof bowl.
• 7. Place into the oven, and bake until tender, about 25 - 30 minutes.
• 8. PLATE/PRESENT
• 9. Serve while nice and hot; however, for an added treat, toss them in some chicken fat before serving. Decadent, yet tasty. Enjoy.
• 10. Keep the faith, and keep cooking.
