Why does the Oven Roasted Potatoes take a whole cup of vegetable oil for this recipe to coat the "taters" with?

I've been making Oven Roasted Potatoes for years. I only use 2-3 tablespoons of oil. After the potatoes are peeled and cut up and rinsed, I pat the potatoes dry with a paper towel, then I toss them with the other ingredience (wet potatoes don't mix well oil and this way the potatoes pick up more of the flavor from the seasonings and oil mixture). If you have a well seasoned baking stone, this recipe is a good time to use your stone. I have one shaped like a cookie sheet and i leave it in the oven at all times. I preheat the oven with the stone in place and then dump the seasoned potatoes right on to the hot stone. You will hear a little sizzle. Then I drizzle any left behind oil mixture on to the potatoes and bake as directed. And like others have said. Do Not Over Bake.

I also added a 1/4 t. cayenne pepper. The next time I make this, I will cut the oil to about 1/4 c. oil. That was just too much as the potatoes were swimming in it. Other than that, it's a good recipe.

I am also diabetic. Get an education! You can figure out how many carbs you are going to eat. Those of us that use Mr Food are really tired of these comments.

This recipe is NOT worth the paper it's written upon! Too much grease, garlic is overpowering, and overall it just doesn't taste very good. Mr. Food, this one doesn't live up to your good standards.

I am always amazed at people that can't figure out how to adjust recipes. If you don't like so much oil, don't us so much! Just that simple. Use just enough to coat the potatoe cubes, like I intend to do.

For easier clean-up, put all ingredients, except potatoes, in a large zip-lock bag to mix. Then add the potatoes to coat. And, yes, this recipe is awesome with the dry Hidden Valley Ranch Dressing mix! Been doing it for years and I always get rave reviews!

Try this recipe omitting the salt and paprika, replacing them with a packet of Hidden Valley Ranch Dips and Dressing Mix. It is awesome and I always get compliments.
