Today is another double recipe day just because I feel like it. Tonight I needed a side dish for James and I, and all I had was one baking potato. The solution? Oven Fries. This is slightly modified from Leigh's garlic oven fries found here, and it's so easy I hate to even call it a recipe.
OVEN FRIES INGREDIENTS (makes 4 normal servings...3 if you have a hungry husband)
2 large baking potatoes, rinsed
1-2 tablespoons olive oil
garlic salt to taste
OVEN FRIES INSTRUCTIONS
(1) Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
(2) Cut your potatoes in half length-wise. Then lay them skin side up on your cutting board. Cut fries by slicing length-wise about every 1/4 inch.
(3) Put fries in bowl and toss with olive oil and garlic salt to coat.
(4) Place in single layer on a cookie sheet. Sprinkle on a little more garlic salt if desired.
(5) Cook for about 35 minutes, flipping half way through.
This next dish could be a dinner side or breakfast. My little girl devours these. Many thanks to Emily for sharing this recipe HERE a while back. They have (briefly) graced our dinner plates and breakfast bowls many times since.
CREAMY DINNER GRITS INGREDIENTS
3 cups low sodium chicken broth
1 cup heavy whipping cream
4 tablespoons butter
1 cup QUICK COOKING grits
CREAMY DINNER GRITS INSTRUCTIONS
(1) Bring chicken broth, cream, and butter to a simmer over medium heat.
(2) Add in grits, whisking continually to prevent lumps.
(3) Put the lid on and let them cook for the time directed on the package of grits, stirring occasionally. Mine says 5-7 minutes on the stove top.
(4) Add salt and pepper if you want, but I agree with Emily that they don't need either.
