They say the way to a man’s heart is through his stomach. And if my husband’s stomach was doing the ordering, it would order potatoes. In any way, shape, or form.
These potatoes did the trick for him.

Lemon & Dill Roasted Potato Sticks
1 large potato, chopped into sticks
2 tbsp lemon juice
2 to 3 tbsp EVOO
1 tbsp dill
1 tbsp all-purpose savory seasoning blend (i.e. Trader Joe’s 21 Salute, Mrs. Dash blends, etc.)
Salt & pepper to taste
Directions:
Place potatoes in a bowl and add oil and seasonings. Toss with a spoon to coat. Place potato sticks on foil-lined baking sheet (to save on clean-up time). Bake at 400F for 35 minutes (or until crispy). Flip potatoes once halfway through cooking to ensure even crisping.

Combine all ingredients, toss and coat
Get ready to bake
After flipping halfway through roasting
Done!
You may enjoy serving these potatoes with my vegan Creamy Lemon & Herb Dip
Or with ketchup. I love ketchup on just about anything.
Check out Ketchup & Mustard Lovers Protein & Veggie Mash if you love a little food with your condiments like I do.
Or simply eat the lemon and dill roasted potato sticks plain.
Plain is good sometimes.
But these were far from plain. The lemon, dill, and herbs gave them great flavor.
And they were slightly crunchy on the outside and warm and soft in the middle. Far from plain. Scott approved.
From my last post about my Mall Finds, I am glad you liked my Mac Makeup and bodysprays!
And it doesn’t sound like anyone is going to do anything too crazy for St. Patty’s Day. We shall see come Friday morning who’s hungover on their way to work.
Dessert: Let’s go with some Mint Chocolate Chip Softserve (Vegan, Gluten Free, Soy Free)
Feel free to add a couple drops of green food coloring in the spirit of St. Patty’s Day!Questions:
1. Do you like potatoes?
I will admit, I am not really that much of a potato person. They are fine, but not something I really seek out. My idea of comfort food is one of these.
However, Scott adores potatoes and so I make them for him. He’d be fine with a microwaved “baked” potato but in an effort to have new recipes for my blog to keep things interesting for him, I like to mix things up.
2. What’s your favorite potato and way to cook it?
Here are some ideas of mine..
Ginger Roasted Tri Colored Potatoes
And a Cheezy Veggie Bake with Potatoes
Tell me if and how you like your taters!
Wow, do you need another husband? :-) Your cooking looks awesome!
Oh Geez. Mine too. He LOVES Potatoes. Potatoes & Beer!
Love this recipe! My boyfriend loves his potatoes!
I love that green speckled bowl !!!! Can I ask where you bought it?
Wow-delish….your eats always make me drool!
mmmm! came to look at those recipes from earlier… and now i’m wanting these! dang! i need to get in the kitchen, stat! :)
Those potatoes looks wonderful! My husband is also a carb addict and can eat them all the time! Our fav way to prepare them is baked with red bell peppers and onions! The flavors blend very well together.
I need to stop reading food blogs when I’m hungry. These look divine and I’m tempted to roast up a batch right now, even though it’s 9:15 at night.
Can you believe I would prefer a potato to a brownie or other sweet treat!!!? It’s true!!!
Ummmmmm, I was going to comment on how delicious adding lemon to fries sounded, but then you showed a picture of those chocolate peanut butter bars and I totally lost track of everything I was thinking :) Chocolate is always the answer.
I prefer sweet potatoes to regular potatoes, although I do like both. I love sweet potatoes baked with nut butter, cinnamon and yogurt. YUM!
I notice that you say that you aren’t a “bread, potatoes, beans, pasta, grain, etc… girl” all of the time (even though some of those are gluten free or there are gluten free options available). I guess you stay clear of most/all carbs! (except for the trace amount in vegetables that is all fiber and usually considered net carbs). You seem to follow a very strict vegetable only diet with an occasional sweet treat.
Sort of like an atkins or south beach without the meat and cheese. :)
I definitely do not stay clear of all carbs! I love sugar! My blog is not a food diary or food journal or “daily eats” blog in any way. I happen to just prefer my carbs in sweet form, rather than white form. Trust me, I don’t blog about everything I eat. But you’re right…I am meh towards potatoes and rice. I would much rather have other things. Everyone’s palates are different.
these look faaaaantastic! i <3 potatoes (i'm irish after all haha). sweet potato fries are one of my favorite forms, i also love roasted sweet potatoes and potatoes with onions/eggs!
I was craving these potatoes all afternoon at work after reading this… came home and made some :) Yum Yum Yum! Thanks for the recipe
are you serious…you made them already?! That’s awesome :) Thanks for LMK!
Oh, those potatoes look AMAZING! I could eat the entire bowlful!
I’m not a fan of regular potatoes. When I was a baby it was the first real food I ever ate and I HATED them, even still to this day.
But like many other bloggers, I could eat a sweet potato every day and be happy :)
