burgers were on the menu for tonight, and we'd decided to have potatoes as a side dish. red potatoes were in the fridge, along with a white onion. my original plan was just to cut them up and throw them in a skillet for a quick saute, but then i found this recipe in my files and decided to follow the basic outline of it.
i say "basic outline" because i:
--added the white onion which isn't in the original recipe
--used a teaspoon of sweet paprika instead of cayenne pepper b/c we all know i'm a wuss when it comes to spicy food. that, and i didn't want the potatoes to be too spicy for the 3 y.o. in case she decided to try them. (she didn't, but oh well.)
--used about a tablespoon of bottled minced garlic instead of chopped b/c that's what was in the fridge
i didn't cube the potatoes; more of a rough dice/chop, which translated to a slightly longer cooking time (about 40 minutes, plus a few minutes under the broiler).
simple. nom. would make again. the end. :-)
