Honey Roasted Potatoes Recipe!

So me and Aaron have decided to start this crazy new diet where we only eat fruit and vegetables mon-thurs and fri-sun is when we can eat meat.
Obviously there are some exceptions to mon-thurs because we can't completely survive on vegetables and fruit. Our other options are bread, eggs, beans, cereal, etc.
So I don't really like beans which I think is one of the main replacements for meat in vegetarian dishes so I went with potatoes! ^^

I made these honey roasted potatoes and they are so amazing.. I love sweet things so this was pretty much the best thing ever and it's so simple to make with ingredients you most likely have already in your house.

What you'll need:
-potatoes
-salt
-pepper
-honey
-cooking oil/spray
-bowl
-foil
-oven (lol)


First you want to preheat the oven to 375 F
Now I used the small red potatoes because I saw them at target and I prefer them over the big brown potatoes but I'm pretty sure whichever you get will be fine..
I cut them into bite size pieces and dunked them in water. I'm not really sure why but when I used to work at a restaurant, the kitchen would tell me that when cutting potatoes, you should dunk them in a bowl of water to wash off the starch of something..? 
Afterwards, I tried them off because I feel like the mixture sticks better to the potatoes when dry.


Everything is to taste so I'm sorry that there are no exact measures...
I added some salt and pepper to cover all the top of the potatoes evenly. Then with the honey I just kept going in circles and tried to cover them evenly. Then with a gloved hand, I mixed everything together so the potatoes are covered completely with the mixture. 

**You want to put more pepper for a spicier kick and more honey for more sweetness. I don't like to add too much salt but this is totally up to you. 
On a metal tray, you want to wrap it with foil and spray some cooking oil/spray onto it. Then spread the potatoes out evenly.

When the oven is done preheating, you want to put it in for 15 min and then take it out and flip them over and put it in for another 15 min. I put them in for 16 min each time because some didn't fully cook all the way through so you might have to adjust the timing. 


The honey seemed to caramelize and the pepper added a slight kick so it was sweet and spicy. It's soooo good.

I plan on making a video today where I make a different style of potatoes and we'll see how it goes because it will be my first time making it and Aaron (my boyfriend) will be test tasting them! >:)
