    Mayo Spuds

    Mayonnaise-Roasted Potatoes

    1/2 c mayonnaise or Miracle Whip dressing
    1 Tbsp dried rosemary
    1 Tbsp garlic powder
    1 Tbsp onion powder
    1 tsp seasoned salt or Mrs. Dash
    1 Tbsp water
    2 lb small red potatoes, quartered

    1. Mix mayonnaise, seasonings, and water in a large bowl or gallon-size plastic bag.

    2. Add potatoes; toss to coat.

    3. Place potatoes on a greased cookie sheet.

    4. Bake at 400 degrees for 30-40 minutes or until golden brown; stirring after 15 minutes.

    5. NOTE: Oregano can be substituted for all or part of the rosemary. Feel free to decrease garlic and onion powders depending on your preference.


    Came out very good. Took only 30 minutes.

    However, woefully under-spiced. Couldn't taste the rosemary and needed more salt.

      Made this tonight with shrimp. It’s a good base recipe that you could do anything with. It uses butter instead of olive oil, which is a nice bit of richness.

        Put a spoonful of plain whole milk yoghurt in scrambled eggs.

        Education is extremely important.

          It's down home midwestern night at Chez Mik. Cornbread taco bake. Subbing buttermilk for milk, who knows what else.

            Winner. I used less water and added onions, Rotel and green chiles. You could do a lot of different things with it.

              It’s good to be home where I can cook in my own kitchen. Made this tonight, including the simple greens. It will go into frequent rotation. Easy and exactly the kind of stuff I like. Janet actually praised it. The most I usually get is “it’s ok”. 😆

                Two “Janet loved this” in a row. Wow.

                Looks complicated but it’s not. I used top sirloin dry brined with Omaha Steak seasoning for 7 hours.

                  Making Anthony Bourdain's Basque Chicken tonight. Tomorrow I will try to recreate Paladar 511 (NOLA)'s Tuna Crudo. I get to have culinary fun when Janet's out of town.

                      It was great last night. Might be better the second day, haven’t decided yet, but it was damn good both nights. I highly recommend.

                        Lamb chili and cornbread tonight. Didn't have any ground beef and the ground lamb needed to be eaten up. Meat, onions, Bush's Chili Magic, canned tomatoes and a can of green chilis.

                        Doctored up cornbread mix with sour cream, an egg, corn and some honey. In the cast iron skillet. Easy, homey dinner.

                          Made this last night, subbed in sherry for half the water like the notes said. Delicious.

                                @Mik hmmm. looks good.

                                I have some heavy cream left over from my Cajun Chicken Alfredo.

                                Maybe early next week!

                                    Your recipe looks like honey garlic chicken?

                                    Yup. That's what it basically is.

                                    Mrs. George said, "It's good" rather than "It's OK", so it's on the "make again" list.

                                    ETA: But I've never seen it made in a skillet.

                                      I see you get the same lack of domestic support I do.

                                      One would think a bit more appreciation for doing all the cooking would be appropriate.

                                        Speaking of recipes, if you want to keep them on your computer, I can't recommend "Paprika" enough. Great app to store recipes, download from web, etc. Well worth the $35 or so it costs.
