RECIPE: Roasted Potatoes
ROASTED POTATOES:

Step1: Cut potatoes into cubes (I used 6 baking potatoes)



Step 2: The topping: ( I doubled this)

1.5 tsp. Olive Oil
1 Clove Minced Garlic
1 tsp. Tarragon (I didn't have this, so I left it out)
1/4 tsp. Paprika
1/8 tsp. Red Pepper



Step 3: Coat potatoes with topping. It doesn't look like a lot, but it mixes in perfectly.


Step 4: Spread onto greased cookie sheet, bake at 425 for 30-35 minutes (or until potatoes are tender)

2 tablespoons butter, melted

DIRECTIONS

In a mixing bowl, whisk the flour and the eggs together. Gradually stir in the milk and water. Add the salt and butter. Mix until smooth. Heat a lightly oiled pan over medium heat. Pour the batter onto the pan, using approximately 1/2 cup for each crepe.
