This recipe for yellow potatoes turns out delicious and crusty. The secret step is boiling the potatoes in a salted, seasoned liquid. As a result, they absorb flavor and salt and, more importantly, cook on the surface, forming a great, crunchy texture in the oven.
Ingredients
- 2 pounds new yellow potatoes , halved
- 3 sprigs fresh rosemary
- 2 tablespoons salt
- 3 cloves garlic , whole, peeled, bruised
- 2 bays leaves
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 pinch cayenne pepper
- 1 pinch kosher salt
Instructions

Place potatoes in a large pot and cover with water by 1 inch. Bruise rosemary with the dull side of a knife blade; add to potatoes in the pot. Add salt, garlic, and bay leaves; bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer for 5 minutes. Drain and allow potatoes to air dry.

Meatloaf Stuffing
I got bored of regular red sauce meatloaf, so I combined my version of holiday stuffing and turned it into a meatloaf. This alternative is delicious and full of veggies and apples. Instead of using bread crumbs, crackers, or oatmeal, try Pepperidge Farm Herb Seasoned Stuffing. Perfect for fall-winter comfort-style dinners. Pairs well with traditional mashed potatoes and dinner rolls. After experimenting several times over the course of a few years, I've come up with what I call 'Meatloaf Stuffing'. You can use ground beef if meatloaf meat is not available.
