I have been trying some fun things around here lately when it comes to food. I have been in a rut, I know…me the food lady in a rut…and it hasn’t been pretty.

I was sitting here the other night craving fried potatoes. Friend potatoes are not my friend. First they are just plain old fattening, but the fat is also the foe of my gall bladder. Eating fatty things is not in my best interest these days. What to do, what to do…

I cut up the potatoes and stared at them for a while still undecided. Roasting is always good so I tossed them in some fresh chopped Rosemary, Thyme, Kosher Salt and Black Pepper and a little olive oil. Ho hum…still not exciting.

But then it hit me! Panko bread crumbs sprinkled on right before plopping them in the convection oven is a great way to get crunch… PERFECT!!! The Panko crumbs give a bit of crunch without deep frying. Just what I wanted!!! Excuse the pic, it was dark in the kitchen and my tripod was in the car.

Try it at home and let me know what you think. You could easily do the same with sweet potatoes too and that would yummy as well.
