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!

Honey Roasted Red Potatoes

As always, I'm on the hunt for a yummy side dish so it's always great when you discover flavor combinations that work. Who would have thought honey and potatoes, right? But believe me when I tell you...this WORKS! The honey gives an ever-so-slight sweetness to the potatoes that we really enjoyed. I used my Pampered Chef baking pan which I love, because it tends to give things like this a better roasted quality. Plus, I didn't have to use any cooking spray. Anyway...this little side dish was perfect! It's easy to increase the amounts to feed more than just three or four people, too! Love it!

Honey Roasted Red Potatoes




1 pound red potatoes, cut into chunks
2 sliced green onions
3 tablespoons butter, melted
1 tablespoon honey
1 pinch ground black pepper
1 teaspoon dry mustard
1/2 teaspoon salt

Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Spray a 9x13 inch pan with cooking spray.

Place potatoes in a single layer in prepared dish, and top with green onion.

In a small bowl, whisk together the melted butter, honey, mustard, salt and pepper.

Drizzle over potatoes and onions then stir to coat.

Bake for 45 minutes or until tender, stirring halfway through.
