Runs for Cookies Recipes: Crispy Potato Halves

August 17, 2011

Crispy Potato Halves

My husband and I are now OBSESSED with these potatoes! They take a long time to cook, which sucks when you're throwing something together... but if you have the time, this is the perfect side dish!

Crispy Potato Halves

1 (5 oz) potato
1 tsp. olive oil
dash salt
dash pepper
dash garlic powder
dash onion powder
dash chili powder

Preheat oven to 350. Slice potato in half length-wise. Stab the flat side of the potato a few times with a knife. Spread 1/2 tsp oil on the flat side of each half, and sprinkle with the spices. Turn the halves FACE DOWN onto a baking sheet. Bake at 350 for about 1 hour and 20 minutes. Serve with sour cream and chives.

Some of these recipes are my own creation, a few are from cookbooks or other sources (which I will cite), but MOST of them are recipes that I've tried and modified into a healthier version.

I've included the nutrition info on most of the recipes (which I calculate using Sparkpeople.com's Recipe Calculator). However, calculating the nutrition info takes a LOT of time that I'd rather spend doing something more interesting, so some of the recipes don't have the facts. You can always go to Sparkpeople and figure it out yourself, however :)
