Testing out the oven

Nope, I didn’t get a new oven just finally went to get an oven thermometer after a couple of my friends telling me I should. And I wished I’ve listened to them earlier, because now I know why my cakes always doesn’t turned out right; they would be either burnt or undercooked. To my horror I thought all this while (ok it’s pretty much a guesswork when it comes to my oven) I’m baking at the ‘right’ temperature but turns out it’s not! 170 degrees Celsius supposedly turns out to be 200 degrees Celsius!

after having an oven thermometer no more guessing!

Baked Rosemary & Garlic Fries

One of the days where I’m too lazy to cook but want something filling and well healthier compared to ordering fast food or having instant noodles. And this is one yummy snack as well not to mention easy to make. You only need six items; potatoes, salt, black pepper, rosemary, garlic and olive oil.

How To:
1. Wash the potatoes (I’m using Russet potatoes but you may use any variety) thoroughly with a vegetable brush. Don’t peel. Cut lengthwise about 1/2 inch thick
2. Drizzle olive oil over the potatoes and season with salt, pepper, grated garlic and rosemary (I use dried but if you can get fresh rosemary it would be better).
3. Gently toss to coat and set aside.
4.Preheat oven at 180 Celsius degree and arrange the potatoes on a baking sheet/tray.
5. Bake for 30 minutes until potatoes are tender and evenly browned, turning occasionally.
6. Serve and enjoy!
