MSI Shares the Love – Giveaway and Fantastic Crispy Potatoes!!

April 21, 2015 by Mary 14 Comments

A handful of our wonderful investors in MARY’s secret ingredients crowdfunding campaign were also avid subscribers so they said they didn’t need their boxes (duplicates) from the campaign. So we would like to share the LOVE and give away their 5 spring boxes!! All you have to do for this giveaway is tweet the name of your favorite potato recipe, that you like to share with your family and friends, with the hashtag #MSIsharesTheLove. For those of you who don’t normally tweet, here’s your chance to learn how! Please make sure you use the hashtag handle (#MSIsharesTheLove) so we can group you all together. Tweet between now and April 25th (this Saturday) and then we will randomly pick the 5 winners to receive a FREE spring subscription box*! So tweet away and good luck to win!!

My husband LOVES crispy potatoes and is always asking for them. I have one surefire recipe but it uses tons of butter and olive oil to get them that way, which is just way too fattening.

So this past Sunday, for my son’s birthday dinner party, I made these.

My naysayers said these potatoes would dry out, not be good, most likely be dehydrated. How can they possibly be baked that long?

Ha!!
Crispy baked Yukon Gold potatoes on a platter.

CRISPY BAKED YUKON GOLD POTATOES – serves 4 – 5

2 lbs. Yukon Gold potatoes, 2” in diameter, scrubbed
Olive oil
Maldon Sea Salt

Preheat oven to 450 degrees. Wash and scrub potatoes, dry and prick all over with a fork.

Place potatoes on the oven rack and bake for 1.75 hours, until skins are hard and crispy.

Remove from oven and using a serrated knife, cut in half, but not all the way through. Drizzle with your best olive oil and sprinkle on the Maldon Salt. Enjoy!!

So now don’t forget to tweet us your favorite potato recipe. Is it crispy or soft?

Please remember to use the hashtag handle #MSIsharesTheLove to win your free box. Buy an extra one as a gift – Mother’s Day is coming! As Joan, one of our subscribers recently said, “Love these boxes. Have found new things I wouldn’t have tried by seeing them on a shelf in the store.”
