There’s something so comforting and amazing about a pan of golden, crispy, oven-roasted potatoes fresh out of the oven. These roasted potatoes come out perfectly crisp on the outside, tender on the inside, and full of flavor in every bite. Ingredients: Oven Roasted Potatoes  4 medium potatoes (Yukon gold, red or russet work great) 2–3 tablespoons olive oil 1–1½ teaspoons seasoned salt (adjust to taste) Instructions: Instructions: Preheat oven to 425°F. Prep the potatoes by scrubbing well. Cut into bite-sized chunks (about 1/2 inch cubed). Try to keep them similar in size so they cook evenly. Place potatoes in a large bowl. Drizzle with olive oil and toss to coat evenly. Sprinkle with seasoned salt and toss again. Spread potatoes in a single layer on a baking sheet. Make sure they aren’t crowded—this helps them get crispy instead of soft. Bake for 25—30 minutes. Flip halfway through for even browning. Potatoes are done when they’re golden brown and crispy on the outside, tender on t...

Heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add onions and mushroom and saute for 2 minutes. Crumble tofu into pan with your fingers or use a spatula to break it up in the pan. Cook until tofu is browned and slightly dry, stirring occasionally. This could be from 10-20 minutes, depending on desired texture. The longer the tofu cooks, the firmer the tofu will be. Add “chicken-style seasoning” after about 5 minutes after you add the tofu. Optional: can add other v...
