Cheddar and Sour Cream Roasted Potatoes
Description
This recipe uses russet potatoes cut into chunks, coated lightly with canola oil and salted before roasting at 400 degrees F until browned and crisp, about 20-25 minutes. The hot potatoes are then tossed in a dry seasoning blend combining cheddar cheese powder, sour cream powder, mustard powder, cayenne pepper, and extra salt to taste. This coating adheres to the potatoes, imparting a tangy, sharp cheese flavor balanced with a mild heat and a creamy sour cream note.
The roasting technique ensures a crispy exterior while keeping the potato centers tender. The seasoning adds a layered, savory tanginess that elevates simple roasted potatoes. These can be served immediately as a side to meats or enjoyed as a snack or appetizer.
Adjusting salt amounts before and after roasting lets you control seasoning precisely. The division of oil allows for a light coating while the initial salt boosts flavor and the final tossing ensures the seasoning clings well.
