Quick Fix Roasted Garlic And Herb Potato Chips

If you buy any amount of potato chips I’m going to make a bold prediction. You’re bored. Bored of the same flavors. Bored of chips that claim to be bold or better or whatever and never live up to the promises. Well stop it. I did. Now I but plain ole chips. Ruffled usually. And wavy. And then I season them my way. Like these quick fix roasted garlic and herb potato chips. These aren’t boring. Not even close to it.

Quick Fix Roasted Garlic And Herb Potato Chips

Heat ‘Em. Spice ‘Em. Eat ‘Em.

It’s literally that easy to make these quick fix roasted garlic and herb potato chips. The seasoning comes from fine folks over at Weber. I know I can trust them. I own over 15 Weber grills. I’ve got a pantry full of Weber sauces and seasonings. They don’t mess around. This seasoning proves it. It’s full of garlic flavor. And delicious herbs. The chips taste great. You can see the seasoning. And the cool part is I can add a little or a lot. I’m in control here.

Quick Fix Broccoli and Cheese Baked Potatoes

Baked potatoes find their way on our dinner menu with some regularity. Sometimes they are served up as side dishes, but often they are the main course. They’re easy to make, and pretty fuss-free depending how crazy you go when you top them. These quick fix broccoli and cheese baked potatoes are about as easy as you can get. Just bake some potatoes, heat some frozen broccoli and cheese, and boom! A fantastic baked potato is served! Well, ok, I added some bacon bits too but those aren’t that hard either! I just opened the bottle!

Quick Fix Broccoli and Cheese Baked Potatoes

Super Easy, Super Delicious!

I use Green Giant’s frozen broccoli and cheese to top these quick fix baked potatoes. I’ve also been known to make them using my utterly fantastic slow cooker cauliflower (which can also be made with broccoli). If you’re a cheese-aholic like me, you’ll want to try that too.

Try Other Toppings Too

Feel free to peruse the frozen vegetable section in your grocery store. You might find other cheesy vegetables that would be just as good on a baked potato! And if they don’t include a cheese sauce, don’t fret. Just heat them as instructed and then top them with some freshly shredded cheese. Shredding your own is so much better than the pre-shredded stuff!

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 400 F.
  • Rinse the potatoes under cold water and brush off any dirt. Dry well with a paper towel.
  • Pierce each potato 4 times with a sharp knife.
  • Brush potatoes with oil.
  • Sprinkle some salt onto a plate and roll the potatoes in the salt.
  • Place potatoes directly on the oven center rack. You might want to put a baking sheet lined with foil beneath them to catch any drippings.
  • Bake until potatoes are done (210 F internal temperature, or tender all the way through when poked with a knife), 40-60 minutes depending on their size. You can also test for doneness by squeezing the potatoes (with potholders on). If they give easily, they are done.
  • While the potatoes cool prepare the broccoli per package instructions.
  • Cut the potatoes open. Fluff the insides with a fork if desired. Add butter, and season well with salt and pepper.
  • Divide heated broccoli with cheese sauce between the potatoes and serve topped with bacon bits.

The Best Vortex Fried Chicken Recipes

I absolutely love making fried chicken on my charcoal grill using the Vortex insert. With no or little oil, I can make chicken that seems like it was deep-fried. The flavors are amazing. The crunchy skin is amazing. Fried chicken on the Vortex is even better than deep-fried!

Quick and Easy Cold Cut Sub Sandwich

If I was going out to grab a sub, I’d be heading to Jersey Mike’s. No question about it. I’d get a sub Mike’s way, with vinegar and oil and salt and pepper and it’d disappear in no time. And if I wanted to make the same great sandwich at home, I’d make my copycat Jersey Mike’s sub. But if I’m in a big hurry and still want a great sandwich, I make my quick and easy cold cut sub sandwich. It’s not too different than what I can get at Jersey Mike’s. Main difference is that I use an off-the-shelf sub dressing that makes every sub great.

Quick and Easy Cold Cut Sub Sandwich

Don’t Forget The Salt And Pepper

It may sound odd, but I actually think the two ingredients that are essential to a tasty quick and easy cold cut sub sandwich are salt and pepper. Onions need seasoning. The tomatoes definitely need seasoning. And of course the lettuce needs it too.

Quick Fix Frank’s RedHot Original Seasoning Potato Chips

And BOOM! Like that these quick fix Frank’s RedHot Original Seasoning potato chips were gone. “The perfect blend of flavor and heat” is what the bottle says. And the bottle does not lie. Why someone hasn’t come out with these chips in bags I do not know. They could retire on a beach somewhere if they did. Well, until then, I’ll just make them at home in just a few minutes. Sadly, I won’t be retiring on a beach, though!

Quick Fix Frank's RedHot Original Seasoning Potato Chips

The Simple Steps To Chip Success

The keys to making quick fix Frank’s RedHot Original Seasoning potato chips are simple. Use ruffled (wavy) potato chips so that you get seasoning in every ridge and valley. And equally as important, use a lot of the seasoning. Heck, if you want lightly seasoned chips go to the market! There’s bag after bag of meh-flavored chips! Now’s your chance to bring some flavor to each and every crunch!

Don’t search out the expensive chips for this dish. El cheapo chips work just fine. In fact, they could easily be better. You want chips with a bit of oil still in them from the frying process. When you heat them that oil will come to the surface. That’s the idea time to season them.

BBQ Sous Vide Country Style Ribs

These BBQ sous vide country style ribs have been on my radar for a while now. I love country style ribs. I usually sear them on the stovetop then finish them in the oven, served over sauerkraut. Yum. This time I went the sous vide route, finishing the ribs on a hot gas grill. A little hickory BBQ sauce gives the impression that the ribs were cooked low and slow on a smoker. Or close enough, at least. The result was tender, very juicy, very flavor ribs.

BBQ Sous Vide Country Style Ribs

Tender as you want it to be

You get to decide how tender you want your BBQ sous vide country style ribs to be. The first time I made them I went 4 hours. At that point the ribs have a good chew but aren’t tough. If you like a good tug to your ribs, 4 hours will get you where you want to be. But for more tender ribs you really might want to go 6 if not 8 hours. The full 8 hours is a bit much for me only because I do want a little ‘bite’ to my meat. I’d settle on 6. You can squeeze the ribs in the bag after 4 hours, and every hour or so after that, to see if the ribs are getting to where you want them. Just note your favorite cook time for the next time you make them. Because there will be a next time.

I use an Anova sous vide cooker. It’s my immersion circulator workhorse!

Sous Vide Snow Crab Legs

I am not a crab specialist. Crab connoisseurs would watch me crack crab legs and dig out the meat and probably giggle. Things fly everywhere. But I get the job done. And I absolutely love the final result. I could eat crab all day. That usually means grilling them. Or boiling them. This time, though, I tried sous vide snow crab legs. Let me tell you, this is my go-to way for perfect crab legs from here on. It’s easy, quick, and the result is deliciously fantastic!

Sous Vide Snow Crab Legs

Flavor-Packed Crab Greatness

The flavor in these sous vide snow crab legs is fantastic. At least in my case, I added butter (and lots of it) and Old Bay seasoning (and lots of that too!). This is not the time (in my opinion) to be shy with either one. I want messy, crazy-good crab and that’s exactly what I got. I cannot wait to make these again.

Remember, the crab legs are already cooked (steamed, actually). You’re just warming them up and adding flavor. And making sure you’re not losing any flavor like you would if you just boil them.

You can use this same recipe for larger crab legs, too. I’d add some more time to warm them up, so I’d start with 45 minutes and maybe go as long as an hour.

  • Add enough water to the bag to just cover the legs.
  • Lower the bag into the warmed water. Use a clip to clamp the bag to the side of your container, keeping the bag open. You do not need to vacuum seal the bag or remove any air from it, just make sure that the legs are below the water line.
  • Heat the legs for 30-45 minutes or until heated through.
  • Remove and drain the bag into a colander.

Quick Fix Rotisserie Chicken-Seasoned Potato Chips

My local grocery store puts their hot-out-of-the-roaster rotisserie chickens near the entrance for a reason. They know the aroma will drive me crazy and get me to hankerin’ for rotisserie chicken. What they don’t know is it actually makes me crave my quick fix rotisserie chicken-seasoned potato chips instead! Yep, that same great flavor as the classic chicken, all on a crunchy chip! Ready in minutes, these are some highly addicting snacks! I recommend making a big batch and serving these at the next game party at your house. Everyone will be pleasantly surprised as they enjoy these totally different chips!

Quick Fix Rotisserie Chicken-Seasoned Potato Chips

Go Heavy On The Seasoning

I recommend that you use a ‘heavy hand’ when it comes time to add the seasoning to your quick fix rotisserie chicken-seasoned potato chips. Get some on each and every chip. Front and back. Edge to edge. Be gentle with the chips as you stir them, too. Even with thick chips you might break them if you stir them too hard. Nice and easy is what you are looking for. No one wants broken, dinky-sized chips. They want big, crunchy, heavily-seasoned chips!

I prefer to use wavy chips for this recipe. The ridges capture the seasoning better, so more sticks to the chips. That’s why we’re here, right? More seasoning!

I’ve lost count of how many times we’ve made these garlic herb sous vide potatoes in the last week or two. The weather has been nice and that meant grilling. I was looking for an easy side. Now, I didn’t make these potatoes on the grill, but I did finish them there. You can finish them in a skillet on the stovetop too. Either way, they’re packed with a wonderful garlic and herb flavors.

The perfect side dish

The potatoes are cooked perfectly. They’re velvety creamy inside. Finishing them off over high heat adds a nice crunchy layer. These potatoes make for a great side dish.

Garlic Herb Sous Vide Potatoes

As written, the amounts of dried herbs used infuse a good amount of flavor into these garlic herb sous vide potatoes. We like our potatoes to pack flavor. If you’re a little on the ‘less is more’ side when it comes to dried herbs, I’d suggest using slightly less thyme and oregano. You can change your mind and add a bit more when you are browning the potatoes after they’re cooked.

If you prefer to finish the potatoes on a grill, no problem! Just use a cast iron skillet or griddle over direct high heat.

I use an Anova sous vide cooker. It’s my immersion circulator workhorse!

Instructions

  • Fill a container with water. Add your immersion circulator and set the temperature to 190 F.
  • Meanwhile, prepare the potatoes by washing and then cutting into 1" cubes.
  • Place potatoes into a large bowl. Drizzle with 1/2 tablespoon of the oil.
  • Sprinkle with the remaining ingredients (minus the remaining oil).
  • Toss gently to coat well and evenly.
  • Transfer the potatoes to a vacuum bag. Spread them out in one layer. Use more than one bag if you have to. Seal.
  • Place bags in pre-heated water for 1 hour.
  • Remove bag from water. Open the bag and pour the potatoes into a large bowl. Dab lightly with a paper towel to remove and excess moisture.
  • Heat the last 1/2 tablespoon of oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
  • Add the potatoes and let brown on one side, 2-4 minutes. Gently flip the potatoes and brown on the other side.
  • Remove and serve.

Quick Fix Strawberry Sugar Cookies

I was trying to make vampire sugar cookies. They look like regular ole sugar cookies but with two holes that make it look like a vampire took a bite out of them. Well, that failed, but that failure ended up tasting fantastic and being a big hit at my wife’s office. Heck, these quick fix strawberry sugar cookies are so good that I made them twice in two weeks. And truth is, they are scary easy to make.

I’m A Strawberry Kinda Guy

I opted for strawberry jam when I made these quick fix strawberry sugar cookies, but you could use anything you’d like. I think thicker is better so that the middles aren’t too terribly soggy. And don’t put too much of whatever you use on them. They won’t seal well and you’ll have ‘blowouts’. Why did I pick strawberry jam? Well, because it’s my favorite! That and grape.

I’m also contemplating doing a mix of jams. A little grape, a little raspberry, a little strawberry, etc. I think that’d look great on a plate at Thanksgiving or Christmas. I could put a few of each flavor in fru-fru decorative cookie boxes and give them out as gifts!

Also try my homemade gummy bears!

  • Spoon 1/2 teaspoon of jam or jelly into the center of each round.
