Anyway four meals for about $10 full of flavor whole roasted chicken with potatoes let’s get down to business so first things first let’s go ahead and preheat our oven to 350 next we’re going to start working on our potatoes I’m working with a baby potato medley made of red yellow and purple potatoes but you can work with whatever Small.
Potatoes you want potatoes are naturally pretty dirty so let’s give them a thorough scrub under running water and then add them to a large bowl once your potatoes are washed dry them out with some paper towel now we’re going to Simply cut the potatoes in half and put them in a large bowl for seasoning before we season let’s quickly.
Dice up a shallot now let’s add the dice shallots to the bowl with the potatoes next we’re going to add some some garlic paste or minced garlic and then add some avocado oil now let’s get in there and make sure all the potatoes are covered in oil and the garlic and shallots are evenly.
Distributed the oil helps the potatoes roast instead of steam in the oven also it helps the seasoning stick and speaking of seasoning let’s go in with a little bit of salt and dried time no need to go heavy on the seasoning here we’re going to get all the flavor from the chicken drippings mix the seasonings in when you’re done.
