Spicy Roasted Baby Potatoes

Baby potatoes have such tremendous potato flavor. And they cook very quickly, making them great to make on the grill, like these spicy roasted baby potatoes. These little bites-of-nothing-but-goodness pack some mighty nice kick. Just like I like it. And don’t fear the spicy, either. We’re not talking ‘oh my! my mouth is on fire’ spicy. There’s just enough to wake up your taste buds.

You can substitute fingerling potatoes too, just make sure they are all about the same size or they won’t cook evenly. You want tender, tasty baby potatoes. You don’t want to bite into a hard potato. Ever. The more they are the same size, the better they’ll be!

Spicy Roasted Baby Potatoes

Add A Little Smokiness

For a little smokiness in your spicy roasted baby potatoes, substitute chipotle powder for the chili powder. You’ll still get a nice kick. And you’ll get just the right hint of smoke. If you’re cooking these on a gas grill, people will think you used charcoal or wood!

Oriental Ramen Broccoli Coleslaw

I was somewhat pessimistic when I first saw this recipe for Oriental Ramen broccoli coleslaw. My wife sent it to me and asked that I make it for her to take to work for lunch. And of course, I did! Ya know, to like stay in good graces. Well, not only did I stay on her good side I got a great slaw too!

Oriental Ramen Broccoli Coleslaw

Different And Delicious

I was really surprised at how much I liked this oriental Ramen broccoli coleslaw. It is fresh. The flavors are not overpowering, with just a hint of seasoning. It’s light and crunchy and really delicious. This recipe makes for a pretty good-sized batch, but for a huge crowd I’d double it. It holds up well for picnics and family get-togethers.

This slaw is great with my Ramen-seasoned chicken wings.

Chef Paul Prudhomme’s Cajun Cauliflower

I have to admit, I’m not the world’s best at vegetable sides. My go-to list for main dishes is much longer. This is something I’ve been working on…. slowly. I prefer sides with a little kick. This Cajun cauliflower recipe from Chef Paul Prudhomme is definitely on my go-to sides list. It is very easy to make and boosts some great flavor to boot. And it’s a lot healthier than your usual creamy cheesy cauliflower recipes.

Try A Variation Of Seasonings

I keep a variety of Cajun seasonings on hand, from Chef Paul’s version to Slap Ya Mama and everything in-between. Each has its own flavor, its own twist. They all make dishes like Chef Paul Prudhomme’s Cajun cauliflower different. I just hope he wouldn’t be offended if I’m not always using his brand’s seasoning! Sorry Chef! (RIP)

Avocado with Crab-Mango Salad

This avocado with crab-mango salad is a great dish as an appetizer or a side salad. It’s light and refreshing and darned tasty to boot! This is the perfect salad for a warm summer brunch, combining crunchy and creamy textures into each and every bite. And of course there’s decadent crab throughout.

Easy Refried Beans

I was looking for a few sides to go with our tacos the other night. I came across this easy way to make an easy refried beans. The creamy cheese and crunchy jalapeno and onion really kick that ole blah flavor up a few notches.

Easy Refried Beans

Beans Need Help

Grab a bowl of Fiesta corn with these easy refried beans and you have the perfect sides for taco night. We use La Preferida refried beans whenever we’re serving canned beans. They have great flavor, but even the best canned beans need a bit of help. No one has to know that your beans came from a can.

I highly recommend that you shred or grate your own cheese at home. Don’t buy the pre-shredded or pre-grated stuff. It has stuff added to it to keep it from sticking together. That ‘stuff’ affects how the cheese melts. Shred it yourself and use the good stuff.

Cheesy Mushroom Baked Potatoes

You sure can’t go wrong with mushrooms and cheese on a good ole baked potato! I love having baked potatoes for dinner. Not as a side, but for dinner. Load them up and I’m a happy guy. It reminds me of Hogs Breath, my favorite diner in Fayetteville, Arkansas, when I was in college. For just a few bucks you could get a massive loaded baked potato for lunch. Like these cheesy mushroom baked potatoes. Big taters, loaded with lots of cheese and earthy mushrooms. This ain’t fancy eats, but it’s good eats!

Cheesy Broccoli Baked Potatoes

Mmmmmm. Simple, but oh so good! These cheesy broccoli baked potatoes remind me of the wonderful potatoes at Hog’s Breath Eatery, in Fayetteville, Arkansas. I used to eat at Hog’s Breath regularly. Man, did they have great baked potatoes. Sadly, the Hog’s Breath Eatery has closed. That means I have to make more baked potatoes like this one at home. I used to save up my cravings for the next time I’d go to Fayetteville. Now I can make them any time.

Grilled and Baked Pimento Cheese-Stuffed Potatoes

These grilled and baked pimento cheese-stuffed potatoes were almost too pretty to eat. But they sure were delicious, and definitely something a little different. I don’t know why the thought of stuffing potatoes with pimento cheese never occurred to me before. It’s certainly way, way better than just plain old shredded cheddar cheese that’s for sure! It’s amazing how just a few ingredients, usually ones I have on-hand, can make a plain-ole plain-ole potato something magical. That’s why I love baked potatoes so much. They’re like a blank canvas just waiting for me to add my own touches.

Grilled and Baked Pimento Cheese-Stuffed Potatoes

Indoors or Outdoors, They’re Great!

You can also bake these pimento cheese-stuffed potatoes in the oven at 350 F instead of finishing them on the grill. I follow my always-go-to method for making the best baked potatoes in the oven when cooking them indoors. They have the perfectly crunchy skin with tender, moist insides every single time. You can’t beat them! The key is to not wrap them in foil. Let them ‘breath’. You want them baked, not steamed. And you want them to cook to 210 F. Yep, you can give them the ‘poke test’ too, but 210 F is the guaranteed perfect temperature.

The Best Baked Potato

The best baked potato has a crispy skin that crunches when you cut into it. The ‘meat’ is almost creamy. Baking them is what makes them fantastic.There are few things that are as easy as or as good as a great spud. This is how I make them. They are always fantastic time after time.

Cheesy Broccoli Baked Potatoes

No Foil Please

Here’s how we make our potatoes in the oven. Foil? Notice that there isn’t any to be found. When you foil them you are steaming them and the skin will never come up crunchy yummy. This is the way to get that perfect skin. And that perfect potato creaminess. It’s easy and it works. Every time.

  • 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.
