Was getting nails done and that had a playlist of you going. By the time my nails were done, I was obsessed with you and this series! Came home and been binge watching your videos! I can’t wait to try these potatoes! Love you and love this series!

[Melbunni]

I just made them with red skinned potatoes and I am sooo happy! Thank you Emma and grandma! Happy Thanksgiving!

I always cook potatoes like this to my family! But I also add saffron powder with the paprika and rosemary.

I made this after watching the video twice, and omgosh, I've roasted potatoes before but these.. uff, dreamy! Boiling them until just fork tender, not lining the cookie sheet and really using lots of oil made these potatoes incredible. The spice blend is fabulous too, the dried rosemary has more of a woody note rather than if we used fresh that's more green/soapy lol. I passed a bowl of these to my bf who was on a zoom meeting ( no video) and he looked at them like, its a bowl of potatoes? But his eyes lit up when he tasted one and ate the whole bowl haha. Everytime you share your family recipes they are a hit! Your mushroom puffs are my other favorite to make.

Next time I'm going to make a sunny side up egg and side salad of cucumber and sour cream with them :)

The way I make mine is, I mix the potatoes in a bowl with all my seasoning first so that all the potatoes are evenly covered and then add some olive oil to coat and seal in everything and again toss until all potatoes are evenly covered in seasoning and oil. Then i roast in the oven on 375 until done. You can substitute chives, parsley or Italian seasoning instead of rosemary. I've been making these for years.

I just ate and looking at these makes me so hungry. I need so many potatoes.

[JimWarp]

Since this video was released I made those fantastic roasted potatoes about 1-2 times a week - they are that good and super fast and simple to make😋🤤

[mysticode]

Highly recommend you oil and season in a bowl and toss them around, to get maximum coverage. Then transfer to a pan and roast.

I was going to make potatoes today. Now I'll be making these potatoes. Looks delicious

[nancyturner]

I remember roasted canned potatoes. Quite salty, but tasty and different texture than just roasted potatoes. Can see why grandma boiled raw potatoes first. Definitely worth trying.

[simpulacra]

Oh man that's so cool! We do this too for the holidays! Sometimes we put in an onion soup packet as seasoning 😌 We call them Sunday potatoes cuz grandma made them on Sundays lol

[nanoflower]

I do something very similar especially for Thanksgiving. The only big difference is that I always use smoked paprika. Love the taste that it provides.

[vwkflynn]

Always great to see a recipe that's just my style!

[clsaloha]

I’m gonna make this! I really want to be a better cook. Thank you, Emma! 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼😃

[susankilpatrick]

Ohhhh my gosh sauce flying everywhere!
LOOK SO YUMMY! Definitely going to make!!!

[frasersgirl]

They look amazing!! Definitely making soon!!

[viraghorvath]

looks so tasty, and easy. I'm gonna try them out tomorrow

[subliminalphish]

They look like they taste so home cookin good. I understand her not and y'all not using fresh spices because the dry help it get crispy and it doesn't char like the fresh herbs and garlic would. I don't know how the potatoe loves I cook for will like them but I bet I would. I love sweet paprika and your like me with lots of black pepper. Excellent!!! Thanks for the idea and way to prepare the potatoes!!! Nice.

Those look amazing. I'd serve them with sour cream (I know I'm a looney). Holidays aren't proper holidays without Grandma Rolls at my house. They are a super light, enriched dough that rises super fast (like the second proof should be as they bake in the oven!) They come together so quickly and always taste amazing. They are also the best turkey and cranberry finger sandwich base!

[MrSurfferchik]

Oh my goodness these look amazing, and like dinner 😉😄
