Welcome!

Welcome to Simple Fare, Fairly Simple. This is a place for me to post recipes of all kinds...along with other miscellaneous fodder from my so-called life here in the south. Who knows what you will find here. Could be anything from my husband...known as IT Guy...to my kids and beautiful grandbabies that are growing up way too fast right before my eyes. But...mostly this will be a place for food. I hope you'll see something you like and if you decide to try something from the list...leave me a comment and let me know!

Spicy Oven Roasted Potatoes

Every good main dish deserves a yummy side dish, right? When you're running low on ideas, the humble potato always come through! Like this delicious side dish of spicy potatoes. They pair well with nearly anything! I love using Yukon Golds in this because they're so creamy but reds would work, too! Dial the heat up or down depending on your preference...but these are good any way you choose!

Spicy Oven Roasted Potatoes



10 small-medium Yukon Gold potatoes ~ washed and cut into bite sized chunks
2 tablespoon vegetable oil

Spread potatoes into a roasting pan or a rimmed baking sheet.

Bake for 45 minutes, stirring a couple of times throughout cooking.
