Crunchy Coated Roasted Polenta Potatoes are a wonderful side dish for any meal.


The cornmeal gives these are nice toasty taste when baked in the oven, and a nice alternative to breadcrumbs.


These easy baked and crispy style potato wedges can be done in no time with just a few pantry ingredients.


Every one rave about these and they taste terrific plain or with marinara or your favorite dipping sauces.

Roasted Potatoes



I love roasting potatoes, they are a simple way to make a crispy side dish that's a perfect addition to any meal.


Actually, they are so addicting these taste great just for snacking on especially if you're a potato lover.


The potatoes can be served topped with bacon and sour cream loaded also for a nice change.

Tips


  1. Make sure potatoes are in one layer while roasting
  2. Don't skip the par-boil, it helps the polenta meal to adhere nicely to the potatoes
  3. Bacon fat gives these a fabulous flavor and if you use it baste them while baking
  4. Simply par-boil the potatoes, drain and leave to steam dry in the pan for 5 minutes, then you can pour all ingredients in the pan, cover, shake them to coat( instead of shaking in a plastic bag).
