No More Potato Rut

 Does anyone feel like you are rotating the same potato side dishes over and over again? I hope it's not just me! Mashed, baked, scalloped, roasted, fries, tots, hashbrowns, repeat. 

Thankfully there are enough ways to make a potato, it does take a while to feel like I've fallen in a rut, but it does still happen. Lately, this feeling has reared its ugly head mostly when I want to make some tasty roasted potatoes. 

When you think about it, there are a thousand (or more) different flavor combos to come up with when seasoning potatoes to roast in the oven, but when you're in the middle of a busy week, tired and just want to eat, inspiration doesn't always come easy. 

Thankfully, you have a friendly food blogger to do the brainstorming for you and come up with a delicious new way to roast that bag of taters hanging out in the kitchen right now. 

Roasted potatoes can go with literally almost any meal, making them a go-to for so many of us for busy weeknights. 

I used red for these, but yellow would be delicious too. With garlic, onion and Parmesan cheese, use pantry staples to create big flavor in every bite. Crispy on the outside, buttery and creamy inside-everything you want in a tasty tater.

If you are working on your meal plan for this week, you just stumbled upon the perfect side dish to add immediately!
