Herbed Chicken Quarters with Smashed Potatoes

finished Herbed Chicken Quarters with Smashed Potatoes on platterI love making a large amount of roasted meats and veggies on a big sheet pan. It's such a time saver and it looks great presented on the table, as is, on the baking sheet. Gently smashing the potatoes before you put them in the oven allows the lovely meat and veggie juices to flavour them, while keeping them firm and intact. You can use any types of additional veggies you like along with the chicken and potatoes. I used carrots, celery, onions and garlic. This cost about $5 for 4 people. I like to serve it with a nice crusty rustic bread.

My mind's eye picture of this comes complete with the aroma in your kitchen as it's cooking.

It's too bad we can't ask you to prove your dish is awesome by inviting us all over to eat. lol

And we'd probably have fun too. And judging by all your recipes that you so meticulously spell out, at least I'd know what I was eating. I'll try everything as long as I know what it is but what I call mystery food is off limits for me.

I don't eat things like hot dogs or bologna for that reason. lol

You like cooking and eating various cultural dishes ... I see this in the mix of recipes you submit.

My mother came from what is now called Indonesia and she made many of the traditional dishes. One of them was nasi goreng ... look it up and give it a try. The key to it is in the sambal; no other hot sauce compares.

MINA!! I LOVE LOVE LOVE NASI GORENG! It's one of my biggest weaknesses! One of my Indonesian friends makes it for me, but I still need to learn to knock one out the park myself.

So I'm guessing you're familiar with satay too ....

I made it about a month ago, served over lamb. Now I'm making myself hungry for another feast.

i have made something similar but yours puts it to shame!!

I usually do not do skin but in this case it looks like a good thing and my son's little dog loves cooked chicken skin..

One of my favorite pastimes has always been looking/searching cookbooks but now I just go to your recipe link and never open a book!! Love it...

Forget about your band - When are you going to open a test kitchen and cooking school?
