Aunt Mid's Zesty Roasted Red Skins & Garlicky Baby Reds Recipe

We had a bag of Aunt Mid's sitting around from the holiday cooking and I decided to try the recipes on the back of the bag.  Did not expect it to be as delicious as they were!

We made the Zesty Roasted Reskins (potato skins) & the Garlicky Baby Reds (garlic potatoes).  The ones cut in half are the potato skins & the whole red potatoes are the garlic potatoes.  They took a total of 40 minutes to cook, because both cooked at 400 degree.  The recipe follows...

Zesty Roasted Red Skins
1  3lb bag AUNT MID's Red Skin Potatoes
3  Tabsp Olive Oil
3 Tbsp of your favorite steak seasoning

Prep took 5 - 10 minutes
Bake for 20 minutes

Instruction:
Preheat your oven to 400 degrees
Rinse potatoes and pat dry with paper towels
Cut potatoes in half lengthwise.
Place in bowl and sprinkle with olive oil.  {Since I only made about 1 lbs of potatoes, I just ensured the potatoes were wholly covered}  Mix with your hand until potatoes are coated.

Place on cookie sheet, cut side up.  Sprinkle with steak seasoning.  {I did not measure my seasoning and just sprinkled liberally.  It was deliciously zesty as a result!}
Bake at 400 degrees for 20 minutes or until golden brown.  {Check your oven temperature like always, because we ended up needing around 25 - 30 minutes due to the varying sizes of the potatoes}


Garlicky Baby Reds
2     lbs. Aunt Mid's Baby Red Potatoes
1/4  cup butter, melted
2     tsp minced garlic
1     tsp salt
1     tsp paprika
Juice of one small lemon
1     tbsp grated Parmesan cheese

Prep 10 minutes
Bake 40 minutes

Preheat oven to 400 degrees
Place potatoes in a 8x8 inch baking dish {We only made 1 lbs so I used a bread loaf baking pan}
In a small bowl, combine melted butter, garlic, salt, paprika, and lemon juice.
Pour over potatoes and stir to coat.  {My stirring was done by hand so the potatoes were coated thoroughly}  Sprinkle Parmesan cheese over potatoes.
Cover and bake for 30 minutes.  Uncover and bake an additional 10 minutes, or until golden brown.  {I actually took it out after the 40 minutes, but the big piece on the top right could have used another 5 minutes at least}

The sauce that you make for these potatoes was also delightfully delicious for us to dip our rolls in.  Nothing went to waste!
