Roasted Red Skin "Potatoes" anyone?

[plsmachic]

I made this from Linda's site, and just incase you guys haven't stumbled upon it...

Mock Red Skin Potatoes

She says only put in salt, pepper, oil, and butter. But!
I added italian seasoning and garlic powder and it was delish!

Then, I was thinking... I wonder if I put these in the toaster oven to crisp up the outside again now that the whole thing is soft... And, yeah, do that. Amazing!

I would never have dreamed of frying radishes!

Thanks for the suggestion.

Re: Roasted Red Skin "Potatoes" anyone?

yeah, this was my first time ever eating radishes in my life... and I will have them as a staple food in my house now!

I have got to try that! I was raised on potatoes (had them seriously EVERYDAY!)

I made this back in the day. I added diced leftover corned beef to make "red flannel hash". It was much better than I expected.

Re: Roasted Red Skin "Potatoes" anyone?

i really disliked this recipe honestly. the texture and flavor is really nothing like potatoes, its more like some sort of weird fried squash thing. im not a stranger to radishes, i like them raw, but that was the last time i'll try to cook them. bleh.

I fry radishes and onions then add meat (canned corned beef, roast beef whatever I have on hand) and make hash out of it. Or I just fry radishes and onions and eat them when my family eats fried potatoes w/onions.....I don't miss them a bit!

Re: Roasted Red Skin "Potatoes" anyone?

SO, when you fry the radishes, do they lose that sharp flavor?

That is my question too. I can't stand the taste of radishes and wonder how they could even come close to a potato???

Re: Roasted Red Skin "Potatoes" anyone?

I picked up some on the way home and they're frying now... I'll report back

Re: Roasted Red Skin "Potatoes" anyone?

OK, one of the other posters was spot on, they were very squash like but that's OK. They did not have the sharpness I was concerned with.

I cut the stems off and then cut them in half. While I was doing that I sweated a few onion slices that I diced up in a little oil. Once they were ready I added a little butter to the pan and put the radishes in with a little garlic and seasoned salt. I'd say it took them about 20 minutes on a lower temp to get soft-ish. They still had a bit of crunch to them but that was OK.

Yeah, I'll make them again. They were a nice change to be sure.

Re: Roasted Red Skin "Potatoes" anyone?

I thin slice them and make more of a home fry out of them....then add green onions or 1/2 ounce white onion. I don't get a "squash" thing.....I guess I told myself they were potatoes and believed it. I fry mine in olive oil and add a little butter just before they are done to brown them up.

Glad you like them -- I have them about once every other week. Here's a picture of one night when I made corned beef "hash" out of them.

Re: Roasted Red Skin "Potatoes" anyone?

Thanks Carole. I've never been a big hash fan, but, I may try it as I have some left over from last night. I think I'll try it in cast iron as well, maybe get a little more crisp.
